She pronounces english just fine until she thinks about it. Whenever she tries to pronounce a word that she's not sure of, she always thinks of it from the japanese perspective, trying to sound it out via japanese phonetics, which doesn't work too well for english words, but if she can just remember the english word (which she knows cuz she's basically fluent), then she will pronounce it fine without effort
I think you’re right. I think if she tried to pronounce things while actively trying to use an American accent, it would come out no problem. It kinda seems like she does that sort of subconsciously already
@@Ragnell123 Yea, her natural thought process is japanese, I think she learned to speak english intuitively because of her dad and college, but learning to read english very much as a second language that doesnt come naturally to her.
Seems spot on - the first clip of her I watched, I didn’t even realize english wasn’t her first language until the first time she read/pronounced a proper name and the japanese phoenetics were instantly obvious.
@@Vrynn10 Yea, when I first heard of her I was like "Does this person actually know japanese or is she just a weeb who has learned a few Japanese words from anime and is dropping them in random places because she weebs too hard?"
i wouldn't say shes fluent but she's pretty close. there's still some grammatical things she doesn't understand about english. things that a fluent speaker wouldn't struggle with as much
Henya is too precious for words. This, all this is why I was almost delirious with joy to hear she was "back". I seriously cannot think of anyone more wholesome and delightful to listen to. I think if there was a kettle and doggo collab my heart would explode. In fact I there has been and I think it did.
Her determination when trying to pronounce English words always puts a smile to my face. As someone who is trying to learn Japanese, I can totally get Henya's struggle.
henya spending 5min trying to pronounce organization to tell a story "wait what was I talking about?" my sides left orbit. The kettle never disappoints.
When she said redemption right, I got happy like a proud father even though I never went to her streams but there's just something so happy about seeing and hearing that.
It's so interesting with parallel. You can hear her try to sound out the word, but her Japanese is taking over and she breaks it down pa-ra-le-lu which becomes a tongue twister. If I had to teach someone to pronounce it in English I would break it down to p-ar-all-el with the consonants at the ends of the sounds as opposed the the vowels like they do with Japanese letters/sounds. It's so interesting, and adorable
"mid 16th century: from French parallèle, via Latin from Greek parallēlos, from para- ‘alongside’ + allēlos ‘one another’." Don't feel bad. It's a stolen word that we didn't localize very well. 😁
Ya know... Whenever I see a topic highlighting the struggles of English, I'm reminded of that one episode of Red vs. Blue when Tucker is explaining to Church how he's teaching Alien the fundamentals of English... or as Tucker called it "English 101: Remedial Kickass". Lol... Am I right? English is Kickass... "It aren't that hard!" 😆🤓😎👍
I have noticed that occasionally she will stumble across a comment and just kind of panic for a moment, until she remembers she is in a different company now, and they can get away with saying things like that.
I'd say it's another form of the noun expression "jerkoff", which in turn is just a way of calling someone an asshole or otherwise showing you have disdain for them.
Honestly I feel this from the other side of the fence. I'm English first language and have been learning Japanese for a little over a year. It's tough sometimes (all the time).
Y'know, she actually exemplifies a really important part of language learning - don't move on until you get it right. She listens to her chat to know if she's pronouncing something properly and just goes for it until she gets it. A lot of language learners don't do this and it really hampers their learning.
I have the same difficulty with Japanese sometimes. Quite often I get the order of vowels wrong and can't remember. Still can't remember all Hirigana, so can only read a tiny bit.
She tries so hard, I can't fault her for mispronouncing so many words. She's come a long way since she first appeared. I respect the effort she puts in, can't be easy learning a second language. 👍
The English is hard section isn't so much Engrish as it is the structuring and format of English sentences. As someone who speaks a couple different languages, I can appreciate this.

I wanna hear Henya say parallelogram, my heart would implode
so would hers
"Para... ...whah..? Paparereraro... parapero... pareraraguramu?!?"
@@hazukichanx408"Rubbish... ...whah..? Underfloor... underfloor... underfloor... underfloor?!?"
Henya learning how to properly pronounce English from chat, while chat learns bits of Japanese from her is the most wholesome interaction ever.
Without exaggeration, this is sweet music to my ears. I will never get tired of Henya's Engrish
She is in that perfect spot where she knows but dont know
she knows but cant.. but can.. but cant
@@Shihir0 she can(t)

She collabled ag- for the first time with Ina *cough* a bit ago.
Could happen. It's not like she's blacklisted.
KETTLE IS ETERNAL
Her determination when trying to pronounce English words always puts a smile to my face. As someone who is trying to learn Japanese, I can totally get Henya's struggle.
I didn't watch her much before but since she became Henya I now know that I missed out. I'll treasure this kettle.
I love how "Regional" turns Henya into Dio Brando.
She can laugh at my Japanese words anytime. It's only fair.
THANK YOU, we needed this, best compilation of henya's engrish
henya spending 5min trying to pronounce organization to tell a story
"wait what was I talking about?"
my sides left orbit.
The kettle never disappoints.
Also to be fair, as a native English speaker that is one of the harder words to pronounce
REDDO DEDDO REPENPOPON
My go to name for the game now 😂
RERORERORERORERORERORERORERORERO
*Rededenpopon
She goes perapera at 4:48 which is the Japanese onomatopoeia for speaking a foreign language fluently, lol.
It's okay Henya, English is my first (and honestly only) language and I still struggle with it
6:30 absolutely gives vibes of Tomoska trying to say "Thank you so much for watching today!" way back when.
When she said redemption right, I got happy like a proud father even though I never went to her streams but there's just something so happy about seeing and hearing that.
“Redded dededed redempopon” sounds like an out of time drum pattern
her English is perfect when she is mad 😂
Yeah like when she is yelling at Zen
our kettle is just too cute
Henya: ORGAZ
Me: oh no
Henya: ORGAZINATION
Me: phew
Her language skills are genuinely very fascinating, it feels very much like insight into how our minds process language.
Henya is too sweet
Henya's Engrish is so cute I could keep watching this video and I would never stop being entertained.
I like her pauses followed by "F**k"
Chat sounding it out to help her is so cute.
She tries so hard, and honestly does so well usually, watching her determination and success at it is so wholesome.
It's so interesting with parallel. You can hear her try to sound out the word, but her Japanese is taking over and she breaks it down pa-ra-le-lu which becomes a tongue twister.
If I had to teach someone to pronounce it in English I would break it down to p-ar-all-el with the consonants at the ends of the sounds as opposed the the vowels like they do with Japanese letters/sounds.
It's so interesting, and adorable
I want to hear her say "supercalifragelisticexpialadocious"
reddo deddo repenpopon still my favorite
I've spoken english for like 18 years now and to this day I struggle on 'parallel'
"mid 16th century: from French parallèle, via Latin from Greek parallēlos, from para- ‘alongside’ + allēlos ‘one another’."
Don't feel bad. It's a stolen word that we didn't localize very well. 😁
4:15 I love how she didn’t even TRY to read it! I fucking love Henya
As someone who's learning Japanese I can understand this 😂😂
4:39 Naname nanajyuunana-do no narabi de nakunaku inanaku nanahan nanadai nannaku narabete naganagame.
I love how she phrases things too. She'll say some things out of order but it always sounds better.

4:11 Ooooohh! ~ Mah Gad/
Redo deddo pepepopon, best western open world!
Henya turned into Ashe from Evil Dead 2 for a minute there.
I have noticed that occasionally she will stumble across a comment and just kind of panic for a moment, until she remembers she is in a different company now, and they can get away with saying things like that.
The amount of times that shes basically right and then actively talks herself out if the correct pronunciation is infuriatingly hilarious.
Peeg transcends all barriers 🐖
6:30 henya recrated the video without even watching it XD
I love when she finally gets the pronunciations correct.
This is what she meant when she said "Thank goodness I don't speak English" lmao
I'd say it's another form of the noun expression "jerkoff", which in turn is just a way of calling someone an asshole or otherwise showing you have disdain for them.
Orgasm-nation 😂
Same bro, same
T_T shes back T_T I missed her redebut T_T shes back T_T
As someone who speaks English, I tried pronouncing some Japanese words.
It didn't end well... but I'LL FIGURE OUT THIS LANGUAGE AT SOME POINT, DANGIT!
Honestly I feel this from the other side of the fence. I'm English first language and have been learning Japanese for a little over a year. It's tough sometimes (all the time).
Orgazination is hilarious,
6:36 Yeap, she's an honorary Scottish 😂
Can't wait to see her try to figure out there, they're, and their..!😂😂😂
Fun comp !
The superchat to send her a pronunciation... so pure
Henya trying to say Red Dead Redemption is the cutest thing ❤
Red Dead Redempadon:
Dootch: We need more manny!
Asha: What?
I like how people spelling it out in chat like its helping
And then Henya turned into Azumanga Daioh... "fluently, fluently, fluently, fluently*
Sometimes she sounds like the "Me when your mo- your mom- me when I'm wit- You when I'm- Your mom when I'm w-" meme.
“Babe” was my favorite. She was not even doubting that one, she just thought it sounded funny. 😂
4:11 oooah ma gah sound effect
Shes too adorable 😂
I love how the brits and Americans in the chat were saying organisation different
Ah yes, Ribdip Pingpong cabochon, classic video game
I was just thinking of the stuttering kid meme this entire video
"Have you ever had a dream where whe- w- when.. when you- when wh-"
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious or nomonosilaconvocanowconiosis henya will die if she trys to say it
The purple penguin jumped over the purple puddle
her trying so hard is too cute
best 999 IQ Engrish

I love reddo deddo penpen ponpon
That one time I was resurrected in a parararu world.
Deddo Deddo Peppen Poppon. Truly a legendary game.
She's so cute it kills me 😂😂
ok but it most cases her pronunciation is fucking perfect. Like "could pass as native until they find a word they dont know" good
Anything with alot of r's and l's are the bane of a native asian speaking individual
Don't give up henya, I believe in you. P as in pear A like ah llel el like hello when you say parallel.
She reads like I do. "Nenenenenenenenene"
Kenya has the cutest laugh.
I have the same difficulty with Japanese sometimes. Quite often I get the order of vowels wrong and can't remember.
Still can't remember all Hirigana, so can only read a tiny bit.
When she talks, it's very hard to tell (sometimes) that English is her second language.
I often find Englrish funny or even borderline annoying at times, but Henya struggling is too cute.
Those swirley eyes are so perfect.
"Purple burger llama"
God why is this so cute
4:30
Somehow, I feel as if that wasn't "naruhodo ne" at all.
okey, yep, this is art
We should have her read "The Chaos".
She tries so hard, I can't fault her for mispronouncing so many words. She's come a long way since she first appeared. I respect the effort she puts in, can't be easy learning a second language. 👍
Raitoningu Borutekkusu!
I had no idea you could pronounce 'vertix' as 'butt sex'...
'orgasm nation' was also good😂
0:50 some one who is trying to speak in polish be like
Organizajuba!
Her English is perfect!
I also hope they make an anime based on the JoJolion❤
❤
The English is hard section isn't so much Engrish as it is the structuring and format of English sentences. As someone who speaks a couple different languages, I can appreciate this.
Red Dead Revengeance.
6:30 i finally figured it out
Henya is Scottish, that's why she can't pronounce anything!
I wonder what Henya thinks of Sora the Troll
