11.02.2026 13:10 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I was just talking with a Spanish-speaking Japanese cafe owner last weekend about how pronunciation in both languages is virtually identical. I learned Spanish first, which definitely helped my Japanese later.
Also, Chinese grammar is way closer to English than on this graph.
I suppose it would, as chocolate is poisonous to cats.

Dude, Lady Gaga sang her entire set in English, wtf are you people bawling about. This proves you didn't even watch the shit and are just parroting the racist rage baiters.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who still remembers this.
I was not aware Threads was the pulse of much of anything. Although I'm kind of ignurrnt of social media lately.

09.02.2026 10:07 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Since the words for "bowl" and "ball" are written and pronounced the same in Japanese (ใใผใซ), I know several people who thought the NFL championship game was just called "Superball". Which makes more sense, if you ask me, since it's hard to explain what kitchen implements have to do with anything
