When learning a new language, there is happily always some vocabulary incorporated that we already know from other languages. Japanese offers a lot of terms that derived from the English language. However, as a non-native English speaker, you should beware unless you want British or American people making funny expressions when you talk to them. Some Japanese expressions that appear to be English may in fact just be modern Japanese. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

\u2192\u30ad\u30fc\u30db\u30eb\u30c0\u30fc (ki-ho-ruda; key holder): key ring, key chain
\u2192\u30d9\u30d3\u30fc\u30ab\u30fc (bebi-ka; baby car): stroller
\u2192\u30dd\u30c6\u30c8\u30d5\u30e9\u30a4 (poteto furai; potato fry): french fries (US), chips (UK)
\u2192\u30b8\u30a7\u30c3\u30c8\u30b3\u30fc\u30b9\u30bf\u30fc (jetto ko-suta-; jet coaster): roller coaster
\u2192\u30ab\u30fc\u30b8\u30e3\u30c3\u30af (ka-jakku: car-jacking): hijacking a car<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
