My name is ronny and I'm here to teach you some japanese.

No what am I here to teach you japanese or english or both.

Um Do you like singing karaoke which is karaoke?

So not only in this lesson, are you going to learn english?

Okay so you can thank me twice to get the wings.

So this lesson is for anyone who studies likes learns loves or speaks japanese.

Um what we have done is we've stolen your words and we've made them our own so you're thinking, wow, why is this important?

The reason why it's important is because it helps you learn and remember vocabulary because you already know what these words mean.

So now you're gonna understand, oh my God, this word in my language is the same in english.

My brush strokes are just out of shape these days.

So if you see any problems with my hair again at Catalina or candy, please do tell me in the comments, but right in in english because I don't want to google translate.

Um I've tried my best to actually write the things in japanese.

Um, if they look funny because they're funny.

So these are words that are actually japanese that we use in english.

Karaoke is when you sing, you make a fool of yourself in front of your friends.

It means there's nobody playing behind you.

Please never invite me to karaoke unless you're gonna buy me drinks all night because Ronnie's out into that.

I didn't know his japanese emoji somehow blow to, this means word.

I know this means word and this means letter.

Putin, you might think Putin is a couch in japan.

Uh, they don't have beds like we do off the floor.

They, most people use what's called a futon futon is basically a soft mattress on the floor called a futon.

I have no idea what this means, means bed on the floor I guess, but or folding bed, Putin is a japanese word, it doesn't mean a couch, it means a bad next one kamikaze.

Now you're thinking, wow, hey, I know this word because it's a very delicious drink.

Mhm, It's a nice cocktail and it's also what the Japanese pilots did in World War II or 1 212 to um win the war to try and win the war.

Kamikaze doesnt mean that their suicide bombers, it means divine wind.

So this, their idea was that they, their God will help them win the war with their wind and didn't, sorry Catanha, this is a sword.

Maybe you know the word, oh, I need to buy a new katana because mine is getting rusty.

Haven't used it that much since my samurai days, which is another japanese ours.

I don't know how this looks like a sword.

Kind of looks like a square with a little thing in the end.

So Kitana, we say in english sword or katana.

It's a natural disaster where the ocean basically just destroys and kills things on the shore.

Um, Japan has been struck with many tsunamis.

Um, but we use this word the same way they do.

It's destructive water that comes and washes away the countryside.

Um, This part means water, it means harbor bonzai bonzai, this is a tree and actually in japanese, it means a plant that's grown in the tray and instead of us saying, wow your plant that's growing in a tray really looks nice.

We just call the bonzai because that's what you guys call it.

The very small, crazy haiku haiku is a kind of poem.

I remember when I was a wee Ronnie in school, we had to write haiku poems, it's something like five lines, seven lines, five lines.

It was poetry really short and I was like, damn, this is deep, why doesn't rhyme?

Haiku is a kind of poem that we get from japan.

Origami, this is in my opinion, super cool.

I remember being a kid, grade three, my teacher taught me how to make a frog took a square of paper folded, It made a frog that jumps, wow.

Or gammy means gammy means paper maybe or means folding, I don't remember, but origami is the art of folding paper.
