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.
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
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.
@@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.
@@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"
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

Yes, that is a common occurrence when people try to learn Russian. What you are probably saying is: "Имеет ли он собаку?" instead of "Есть ли у него собака?". The russian word: "иметь" can usually mean the word "fuck", so you should refrain from using it. Otherwise keep up on learning the language, Although I would advise you to stop using google translate for pronunciation checking and translation in general, it's way better to use a dictionary like "Reverso Context" to get both - accurate translations of the word with literature context and their common usage and actual pronunciations of words narrated by russian speakers.

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.

Their singing at the end made me spit my drink out. 😂
Must be awesome to be bilingual in Japanese and English. The brain is an amazing thing. I speak two languages too: English and bad English.
It’s tricky to use an American accent because no one else on the planet says “Rrrrrr” like we do.
4:31 私は流暢に英語を話し、とても上手ですwww。私の日本語は批判されますが、ハハ。とにかく、彼女はそれで賞をもらうべきでした！それはほぼ完璧でした！
Maaya wada so beatiful 😍
I agree ❤
Miniskirt clearly speaks native English. That's obvious from the first word.
Maybe she's half Japanese
@@filmallfavoritescenes7465i think she's full japanese
yes clearly but she acts surprised😅
She’s from Arizona
She has a white American father and was born and raised in Arizona lol
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.
君達が日本語を話そうとしているときのほうがもっと笑えることを忘れないように😂
She's very convincing being surprised she got it right. She speaks English. This early in the competition, I wouldn't be surprised if she's very fluent if not born in the states.
Thats bcoz that would be considered show off if she looked proud, so she needed to look humble for the show 😅
All 4 girls are beautiful and adorable.
I love how when trying to say any word in any language people always say "roll your tongue"
the second girl actually got girl right if it's in British accent😂😂😂
Skill based matching when i accidentally win a match:
I think they all did a good job. Google is just being a hater
No.
*INCORRECT.*
They definitely didn’t say god ??
@@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).
nah
Rina: "Yattaa"
Gurl cut the shit 🤣🤣🤣
Omg it’s been years since I saw this 😂
Uh, Rina Hirata was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. She is native fluent.
Of all the places I expected to hear _Addicted to a Memory_ by Zedd, the explanation of a reality show game was not one of them.
Same, same
Ok Hirata is an English native. That was all perfect.
Maaya wada is beautiful
Why the wasian girl acting shocked 💀💀💀
Tsuji Nozomi speaking English😂
Wan dailekushon
Zyasuteen bibaa
Teylaa suweefuto
Aleaahna gulande
wild when they zoomed in on "my butt is big"
8:00 throwing the 5-head shade cracked me up... "eto... hiroi!?"
Say rock & roll…. “Duck in love”. 🤔. Hmm slight misunderstanding there
さすが平田！
それば、平田ちゃんのアメリカ英語の教育が大変な偏りあります。比べ必要じゃない。
@@musenw8834 本当
Rina is definitely from the US
3:50 dafuk she think it was close!!!
😂
them singing survivor terribly at the end was cute lol
9:42 terrible karaoke room be like...
I never expected to have a freaking damn amazing ad( btw the ad is music ad by AHUB )
That second game was so awkward 😂
They hit them with the R and L words right off rip. 😂 Even still, that one girl is clearly bilingual
bro's just smurfin lmao
It's funny how that one girl acted surprised every time she got it right, especially since her pronunciation clearly shows she speaks English fluently. Also, it seemed like everything she said to the other girl was pretty personal, like she really meant everything she said, lol.
