My life hack when I was in Japan and trying to speak to someone that didn't understand my shoddy Japanese was to just legitimately say the English word but in the thickest Japanese accent I could pull off. Worked like 80% of the time.
• u/Fluffyy-Crave 5h ago Honestly that’s encouraging, sometimes confidence and a brave accent carry more than perfect grammar • u/MrSquiddy74 4h ago it does help that japanese has a ton of english loanwords • u/ButtholeConnoisseur7 2h ago It's kind of endearing that a lot of them like pieces if our culture as much as we like theirs • u/malfurionpre 1h ago Which is even funnier because like, 80% of English is words taken from other languages as well (mostly French if you ignore Latin, the cherry on top)
