Here are a few examples of how Japanese and English differ, both contextually and grammatically. Quite funny sometimes! Hope you enjoy!

Also, I'd like to overemphasize that the students did very well on this assignment.

  • Dusty video watching and I enjoy and feel good. You video make future and I have good time pleasure.

  • Nice one! lol Too much! :)

  • whats wrong with Veranda? that what we called our "Porch" on the second floor of our house. Although i have never heard the word here in America, it was common in the British English we used back home.

  • I think it is used more often in Britain. It's a perfectly fine word to use, it just caught me off guard because I haven't heard it in years.
