Ore wa James

A new video called "Ore wa James" (I'm James) or "Gratuitous Japanese" has been released on my YouTube page today. This is my first try at making a video entirely in Japanese. Watch it here.

 

 

As the video description will tell you:

 

"Though I gave it my best try in my video, like Magibon, I am not fluent in Japanese. I also have dyslexia while reading Japanese and rhotacism (aka Elmer Fudd Syndrome) when I speak it."

 

 

If you listen closely, you'll hear I pronounce "R" sounds strangely when speaking Japanese. It sounds like a "D" or an "L" sound (it is unknown which). Ironically, real Japanese people say their "L's" as "R's".

 

 

Let me give you an example.
