My band is called In Bloom and we had a tour recently in Japan. Everyone called us "In BRUUM"! Haha so funny.
Also one of the clubs is called Outbreak, everyone said Outobreaku!  |

Please, record yourself saying "Geez Joshua, I just can't find my jacket" and post it here.

Heck, I'm sure almost any Japanese person speaks my language better than I can speak theirs, and I'm certain that you speak much better English than I do Swedish. What's funny about an accent, or an inability to correctly pronounce a particular sound/letter?

| | | | I just recently went to Japan for vacation.
We were in the Ginza Tokyo metro station and I really had to take a piss (just finished 5 tall beers). We do not speak Japanese but used a translation book. I went to the ticket counter to see if he could direct me in the way of the bathroom. I asked "toilet" and he gave me a blank stare. Then I said "bathroom, piss, pee, urinate, hmmm" he still looked confused. Then I asked for paper, for some reason I didn't draw a toilet but I drew the bathroom signs. They're everywhere in Japan, always the same guy and girl sign. He still looked confused.
THEN....
My girlfriend pulled out our translation book and pointed to "Have massive diarrhea." The guy looked at me and then said "TOILETUUUU??????"
Yes...
Yes.. I need the Toiletuuu....why he didn't get that from "toilet"... I'm not sure.
He was very helpful! You should have seen his face when he read massive diarrhea. He ended up drawing an incredibly detailed map which was very helpful.
If you're ever in Japan, just ask for directions! They give you the best directions I've ever seen. |

| | | Actually the OP's title should be "cannot" instead of "can not", since the "not" does not form part of another construction.
So there. Rearn your own ranguage first!  |
