It’s important to learn Japanese pitch-accent in order to differentiate between common words. For example, HAshi is ‘chopsticks’ but haSHI is ‘bridge’, and KUmo is ‘clouds’ but KUmo is ‘spider’ so chotto those are literally the exact same

Whenever I go to a Japanese Starbucks I order aisu kōhī. Not because iced coffee is my favorite beverage, but because I don’t have the courage to try and say naitoro kōrudoburyū mūsu dāku kyarameru without a Japanese chaperone

Japan is a magical place but it gets a lot less magical when you translate common words

hentai -> lewdy toons
ok hentai is pretty magical either way
