今日のレッスンは、英語で使われる日本語の単語についてです。
You will know these words already, they are Japanese words that have been taken into English. If you go to an English speaking country and say these Japanese words, we will understand you.
I will not add the usual example sentences and questions as you should understand these words and know how to use them already …because they are Japanese words.
The video below is me going through this list and talking about each word. It is important to watch so you can hear the very small differences in pronunciation that there might be.
