@@kupillas-1638 No wonder it was clean and nice. The thing with Japanese and Korean is that both R and L are treated as R uniformly, so R and then L after would get blended together as just R. or L, for that matter. chinese mandarin the two are not always mixed, but sometimes, one can be pronounced like the other. Which means there's clear bias. What we can tell the Japanese "Katayori arimasu!"
i've heard that they don't consider americanized japanese a real japanese and don't treat them like one of their own. but she seems to fit in fine here. or is that for those who can't really speak japanese. wonder how that works
I lived in Japan for three years. While struggling to learn Japanese, I had an idea to use their primary school textbooks. Upon inspection, I noticed their English textbooks used katakana for phonetic notation. I was shocked at that time and then had a clear understand of why nearly all the Japanese speakers share a distinctive English accent even the high-level ones.
There's a Scottish guy at some club I joined, and I genuinely cannot understand half of what he says most of the time. Its inanse how thick his accent is.
Yeah I was like "That was pretty good!" up until i realised it wasn't the word they were going for. Rock n roll was tough, because I definitely understood a couple of them really easily, but I guess the accent was still too strong.
@GrandHighGamer Same for me. 😂 At first I thought "damn, this woman was good!", then I realized the word wasn't "god" but "girl". Still, she has high potential, ngl.
It's because the katakana phonetics they are taught generally follow a British English (which includes a non-rhotic r) pronunciation (I don't know why). However, because they don't have an "uh" sound (short u, /ɜː/), they turn it into an "ah" sound (short o, /ɑ/). Also, their r (sometimes confused with an l) is a slight alveolar tap (/ɾ/), which is close to the more pronounced alveolar tap of double tt/double dd in American English. so their "girl" (gɑɾ) becomes (in American English) G-AH-dd (i.e. "god" in American English"). It would be so much better if they were taught phonics with IPA instead of katakana, which would include teaching them correct tongue position and actually being able to articulate the difference between an R and an L. That's one reason why I don't find using British English pronunciation very helpful for Japanese; its bad enough for them to confuse the two but then to essentially say that one is not even pronounced after vowels (non-rhotic) is even more confusing and it leads to even more difficult to understand speech.
There’s a saying in Japan: “the nail that sticks out gets the hammer.” By acting surprised by her “achievement,” treating it as luck, she is trying to avoid sticking out
@@whiskasthinkingaboutuu say your name is John, and you want to tell me (in third person) that you're going to the club, you say: "John is going to the club"
@@TheAbnormalShrimpOfficial This might be because the AI learned the British English emphasis and not the American English. American English is derived from British English so it makes sense to me. Like in Germany we have many accents/dialects and High German which is understood by everyone, so an AI is probably trained in that and not something like Bavarian or Swabian.
In Japan they frown on acting nonchalant after getting something right and others didn’t. You have to look like you caught lightning in a bottle to appear more “humble”
I was raised in Misawa in Japan and I was blessed to have access to their American airforce base due to connections with the American families. I was exposed to a lot of English when I was a child in Japan and I was basically like Hiratasan being able to speak both Japanese and English. I was always stuck being the translator among my friends whether be an encounter with Americans in the street or translations while watching American movies.
I can tell that this tech is old stuff that doesn't detect it very accurately either, the second and third girls on "Rhythm" were actually much more clearly saying the word they were trying to than what the tech noticed.
In japanese pronunciation, Consonants are typically followed by a vowel. For instance, in Japanese you would never use the letter "R" on its own. You would say "Ra, Re, Ri, Ro or Ru". Hence its very difficult for native Japanese speakers to pronounce the "rl" in Girl. Because its a sound they would never have had to make speaking their native language.
this is also proof that the japanese "r" sounds like an english "d" since the tongue position is similar, useful tip if you're trying to perfect japanese pronounciation yourself
I'm learning Russian. I stop and check my pronunciation sometimes with Google Translate, but there are a couple sounds in Russian that I still _really_ struggle to make. Hilarity sometimes ensues. Once I attempted to ask, "Does he have a dog?"...instead I apparently said, "He's a fucking dog". I don't think I'm ready to talk to people yet...
That American really hurt her like she was having mood swings. Himeka was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder so it must be hard to be in a show sometimes😢
Himeka had Adjustment Disorder. Her moods and feelings were intensified. And she developed an eating disorder. She was trying to be polite to the foreigner as that was her character, and pretty much herself. Rina didn't have a character. I think she was struggling to find a balance between American behavior and Japanese behavior. Himeka was taken aback by the first comment which was rude to the Japanese. But she got into the swing of things. She was a guest to the English club. Her protégé Mayya Wada was a regular member. Rina, from AKB48 was like a hired tutor because she speaks English.
@@jefffromchicago6321Seems you’re a fan of this show! I’ve tried to learn japanese but had to quit because of school being too much. Could you please reply with the name of this show? I think it might be good for me to watch it without subtitles so I can pick up on the language naturally, and given that these contestants use english as a part of competing, i wouldn’t be completely lost on whats going on.
This is so cute. I admire Rina who’s a native level speaker, yet she’s being humble and acting surprised when she’s got the pronunciation right. Also, this is reminding me of one particular scene from Sofia Coppola’s movie Lost in Translation (2003) where a Japanese person can’t tell the difference between the sound of “L” and “R”
@@IEatTheCure They definitely didn't say girl either. When the voice detection gets a poorly pronounced word it has to make a guess without any context (context like you had, already knowing what they're trying to say).
I love the Japanese so much! I am always happy we are so strongly connected with each other, each enamored with the other. I love that Japanese are as interested in English as I am interested in Japanese. This clip was so fun to watch, I love seeing the Japanese learning or interacting with English and bettering their skills. I will say I do find the Japanese accent endearing. The first two girls were difficult to understand, the third was better but still hard to understand, the fourth was perfect. It’s good that they had a native English speaker for comparison and calibration. I think it would be funny to participate in one of these as a native speaker! 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇯🇵 日本＆日本人は愛してる❣️
I will defend my girl Rina for the rest of my days cuz everyone’s complaining about her didn’t even bother to think of the context. She wasn’t there to “learn English” but to be the “native” representative. That’s the format of the show. In fact, the main attraction of the show was the Nogizaka girls (the idol group Nogizaka46) because it was a Nogi show and Rina, not a Nogizaka but in fact a “rival” AKB48 girl, was there to function as the “side character” that highlights main characters. And come on, It’s no prize winning in English over Japanese and the even games are not reward-based. The act surprise thing is just a cultural thing because if she was in fact acting nonchalant about it then people around would be uncomfortable and think she’s full of herself. Also just to put it out, She’s half Japanese with her other half being American. While Rina was never considered to be among the famous ones in/from AKB48, she did get a quite a few side quests and 1 of them was interviewing One Direction
I didn't fully understand what the girl on the left was saying to the girl on the right during the game where they guessed eachother's complex during round 2
You guys, I'm begging you. This is driving me crazy. What is the song that plays between 0:15 and 0:35, when they're explaining the first game. I know I've heard it, but can't place it. Somebody help, please! 😭

Americans the largest group of native english speakers. Far larger than, british, australians, irish, kiwi etc. The Canadian accent is indesigusable from the american one other than a few words.

You're damn right I can. Zedd - Addicted To A Memory. Zedd is right up with Avicii for me as far as influence on electronic music, definitely worth checking him out if you haven't heard of him, though you'll almost definitely recognize some of his work. Also, this song has an amazing community mapping on Beat Saber.

Really interesting from a linguistic perspective bc the R sound in english doesnt really exist in japanese which is why they all use L in place of R. They come from very different places in the mouth so its hard for native speakers to understand but think about a spanish pronounciation of “maria”where the R is made like a L

just like me, my class doesn't even understand me at all.
Rina's voice is really nice
Hey sometimes the voice to text doesn’t work properly for me and I’m a native English speaker lol
5:36 does anybody know the title of the song which was played in here
You're damn right I can. Zedd - Addicted To A Memory. Zedd is right up with Avicii for me as far as influence on electronic music, definitely worth checking him out if you haven't heard of him, though you'll almost definitely recognize some of his work. Also, this song has an amazing community mapping on Beat Saber.
@@autumngust519 Imma let you touch me bro 😭
@ there's way that I don't know abt Zedd I've got Spectrum Bulldog & Guardian on my vlrt acc but nevertheless I didn't know this was his song 😭
Anyway magnificent work on writing it down abt Zedd for me and god bless ya
Darude- sandstorm
@@shengloongtan229 that's what I meant the GOAT
They have been bamboozled by the sussy Rina-Chan.
Ys the last girl is either grew up in the US or was born in the US.
First Pizza Hut and then Dunkin love. I think this girl is just hungry 😆
bro's just smurfin lmao
I don't think Rina was surprised. She was embarrassed. This made her stand out, and that's not ideal in Japanese culture.
so... this is how you learn japanese and english too... que interesante
Really interesting from a linguistic perspective bc the R sound in english doesnt really exist in japanese which is why they all use L in place of R. They come from very different places in the mouth so its hard for native speakers to understand but think about a spanish pronounciation of “maria”where the R is made like a L
