“ People use to bite a coin to make sure if it’s truly gold “!! Wow, maybe that’s why a gold medalists bite their gold medals!! I think this custom is from biting a gold coin!! I’ve been wondering about biting gold medals. Thank you for bringing an interesting episode,Austin😆!!
“Knock on wood” が何回聴いても【中野ウッド】に聞こえて「ん？」ってなる😂😂
I’ve heard an another interpretation for “break a leg”. Say this to stage performers so that they make the audience excited.
Hi! It is great to see this channel growing up so far. First time to leave my comment here though😅.
Hope you guys can talk about various use of "sorry" and also difference between US and JP someday. Thanks a lot!
Seattle born and raised, I say "boh kay"!
I'm with Arthur on "bouquet", Austin. I've never heard anyone saying "boh-ke", that sounds like Japanese word bo-ke as in bo-ke to tsukkomi.
How do you read bougie? That's also BOU.
Listen, the Seattle accent is something pretty off for non-natives lol. Listen to Blink 182’s Going Away to College where it says “bouquet of clumsy words” and they’re from San Diego 😂.
My house mate had to sit up all night with a dead friend. He was furious with me that I did not put two dishes of salt at our door to purify him returning home. Never even heard of that as an American. Happy memories of living in Japan.
In Japan, throwing the upper milk tooth under the floor and the lower milk tooth on the roof is a spell to make sure that the permanent tooth that follows will be guided. That’s we leaned.
Can you talk about EXPATS and mainly on expats’ spouses? (Chu-tsuma)
Bouquet is pronounced boo-kay. It is indeed a French word. lol.
へぇ、塩ってアメリカでもなにかそういう魔除け的な扱いなのね
日本語を話している時と英語を話している時の印象が全然違う。違う人みたい。英語を話している時の方がいい人みたい。日本語が丁寧語過ぎて嘘くさい😅
