"Where are we going?" *"led robstel"*

“this is america we speak english here” “ but were in japan” *that made me crack up* Hold up 9k BRUHHHHHHHHHH

"This is America- we speak english" *says Piña Colada which is Spanish*

Rachel: “says something confusing in English” Jun: “can you please speak Japanese”

Rachel: Leery Jun: REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

"But we're in Japan..."

I just realized, Jun can make both the “L” and the “R” sound perfectly. He only has trouble *hearing* the difference. That’s quite interesting. For me it’s usually the opposite - I can hear that I’m saying it wrong, but I can’t seem to say it right because I don’t know how to make the sound.

That's crazy how much differently your brain works just from having a different native language

"red robster" - insert Rachels face - i died

Wants to test Jun's English skills... throws out a Spanish word XD

“This is America we speak English here” “But we’re in japan” That clacked me up

Well than "ñ" in spanish from piña was pretty correct. xD

Rachel: "Jun got 100 %" Jun clapping "Crap Crap Crap" Sarcasm at its finest! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

"leery" Jun.exe has stopped working

This is very funny. I live in Japan and I see this in writing all the time too. There is a chain of apartments in Osaka called the “Legal Apartments,” which I always thought was an odd choice for a name. I finally realized it’s supposed to be the “Regal Apartments.” 😉

This guy deserves some kind of Nobel Prize for being good natured.

Rachel: Okay Jun Jun: Hai? Rachel: If you don't get all of these correct Jun: Hai? Rachel: I'm going to divorce you Jun: What Rachel: This is America. We speak English here. Jun: This is Japan...

>"we speak english here" >Piña Colada Pick one

It’s okay Jun, Rachel didn’t say ‘revels’ right either 😂

That *crap crap crap* joke at the end was actually genius

I should not be sitting here, laughing at a man who has learned two vastly different languages. But this is fucking hilarious.

Rachel: "do you know where we're going?" Jun: "REd rObSTeR!"

In Jun's defense "drearily" really sounds all muddled up in American accent.

It took me a minute to figure out what was wrong with "RedRobster" 😂

Jun's face at "drearily" 😂 He's reached the end of his patience with English 😂😂😂 Rachel, you should have a turn with really long Japanese words!

The face after "Red Robster" just cracked me up lol

“If you don’t get all of these correct, *”I will divorce you.”*

I died at the red lobster thing, I can't breathe

red robster 😂😂😂😂😂

_It sounded very tender when he said, “Durilyly”

“Red “Robster’” omg this is the cutest “problem” a person could have with language 😂

I think Jun has one of the best english among native japanese I've ever know. Many of them has very thick accent that make it kinda hard to listen. So yeah, it's not an understatement Jun's english is very good

I literally cried when Rachel's face came up after "red Robster"

Here we have a wild Jun slowly combusting at the sound of allele

This explains why the Japanese pan I got was labeled as a "flying pan"

Do you know where we’re going?~ *rED ROBSTER* ʘ‿ʘ ......

EVERYBODY CRAP YOUR HANDS.

I'm a argentinian. Naturally, I speak in Spanish, my nature language, but I speak and write english too. In Japanese I know pretty lots of words, but I want a deeply and exhaustive learning about this language. I love it.

Now imagine him speaking to an American Texan with the THICC Texan accent lol

That divorce joke was hilarious XD "This is America...we speak English here" "...But we're in Japan" Don't question American logic Jun, you're gonna have a bad time

*"red robster"* that made me laugh so hard 😂😂

This is the hardest I've laughed in a *leery* long time

OMG, thanks for making this video! I had no idea how difficult it was for Japanese and other Asian native speakers to negotiate the differences between "l" and "r". But seeing an obviously intelligent and eloquent person like Jun struggle in what must be to him like Japanese hell, really opened my eyes. This video is such a great teaching tool!

“Can you speak Japanese please?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Lol I love you both! You’re adorable and hilarious.

Jun's face at "Allele" was priceless because you could tell his brain was having a meltdown moment lol

2:05 when he said red robster 😭😭🤣🤣 omg I’m dying 💀💀

Rachel: Do you know where were going? Jun:rEd RoBsTeR Rachel: :D

The real test is when he needs to sing Christmas songs

Rachel: if you don't get all these correct I will divorce you Jun: wait wha- Rachel: were in America we speak English Jun: but were in Japan? Lmao

This just made my day !! These two are just pure joy !!

“red robster!” that killed me

You missed the legendary one *Ferrero Rocher* (Its an european delight)

2:04 I died at Red Robster XD

3:05 "Let's practice English!" Exercise 1: Repeat after me **PIÑA COLADA**

Thank you so much. I can’t begin to express how often I’ve caught myself trying to mouth the “r” “l” type sound and getting nowhere but trying to work out how to form it in my mouth. You finally helped me to understand this and I think I am finally on my way to getting it right. You’re the best! Thanks.

2:04 Rachel: "Do you know where we're going?" Jun: "RED ROBSTER!" Rachel: 🙃 °▽°

R: This is America. We speak English here J: But we are in Japan.. i laughed to hard :D:D:D:D:D

the crap crap crap part made me die xD ... also the „you said difelence the other day“ and then june‘s face.... xD this video is GOLD!!!

Rachel: leery Jun: Ree...? Me: REEEEEEEEE

RED ROBSTER!!!!!!!!!

So are the L1 and R1 buttons swapped?

I am laughing out loud at this video! Not at you Jun, you did an amazing job. But Rachel is so intently amused at the entire process it's making me laugh too 🤣

4:56 Jun: *visible confusion*

My family is Korean, and Koreans mix up F for P So fork would be pork 😂

R : "if you don't get all of this correct, i will divorce you" J : "what." 😂😂😂😂

Thank you Jun for being a great sport! I love this cute video. ❤

Rachel looks like a fantasy elf tbh.

I think the "crap, crap, crap" was the funniest thing I've ever heard Jun say. I laughed so hard at that.

He also confused F and H, he said : "It's ffffff...hard"

I was drinking Dr. Pepper and when he said "Crap. Crap. Crap" I had to think of my dark past to try not to die-

*Red Robster*

can't wait for the Katakana revenge episode

"do you now where were going?" "Red robster!!!" XD lmao

This is fascinating! The sounds are so clear to me and I never thought it would be so tricky to differentiate! I would be interested to see the tables turned lol

Thank you for explaining that it is not a physical impediment, but simply the minds learned interpretation of sounds...that was really brave Jun.

led robster

I’m sorry but Jun failing sometimes just makes my day

Thank you for this video. It helped me understand the difficulty of distinguishing these sounds, even for a fluent speaker like Jun.

I cant tell light from reft.

Correction: _Lacher and Jun_

Jun is a cinnamon roll I’m crying happy tears at how much he’s trying to get it right

Oh, my word! Jun's face at Drearily! He was so done. 😅 This gave me a good laugh and reminded me of a good friend from school who was a Japanese Exchange Student. She told me about the trouble with R's and L's.

"If you don't get these all right I will divorce you." "Wait..wat?" Poor Jun

*RED ROBSTER!*

I love everything about them they are so perfect! 😍

It doesn't help English "R" isn't that much of an "R", it sounds like what we Italians call a "floppy R" which is considered a pronunciation defect God, rhotics are a mess

I don't know if you want a more linguistic explanation of why but here it goes so brace yourselves: Basically, the japanese R sound is called an alveolar tap, which is a sound that in English we don't have a letter for. HOWEVER, this sound DOES exist in English. If you have an american accent and you say, "what's the matter" that /tt/ in matter is pronounced like the japanese tap. (for example, when you say 'native' at 1:48, that T is atually an alveolar tap, which is the japanese R sound. SO why do Japanese people mix up English L and English R? In Japanese these three sounds are completely interchangeable, there is no L sound and there is no English R sound, so if someone was to say KokoRo (with an English R) or KokoLo (with an L) They'd still process it as 心 with an alveolar tap. It's not the 'correct' way to pronounce it but their brain still processes it as such. Changing the sounds doesn't affect the meaning at all so in the japanese speaker's mind they are all "One sound" and so when they learn english their japanese R tap gets mapped into all the L and R slots. In English, we do have a distinction between L and R (red/led) so to us it seems bizarre that people might see them as one sound. I don't know if I've explained myself properly but to illustrate i'm going to compare with an example from spanish into English. In Spanish, most speakers don't differentiate between J Y or ZSH. For example, Pollo 'chicken' can be pronounced as "Poyo" "Pojo" or "Pozsho" because in our minds it's just one sound and so, when speaking "yell" may be pronounced as /jell/ or /yell/. This all works backwards as well when listening, not only when speaking. Our brains just try to work with what they know from their mother tongue.

Donald trump winning the e(r)ection I died at that part XD

You two are so cute😂"If you do not get all of these right, I will divorce you." I'm dying rn😂😂🙌

I LOVE RED ROBSTER and Jun really does sound like a native English speaker. This was adorable but you did great

She looks like an elf in Lord of the rings. which isn't a bad thing.

"DONALD WON THE ERECTION" - Jun 2017

“Crap crap crap” xD

This is a serious issue and you video is very instructive, so I apologize, but you guys are so funny could not stop chuckling. You made my day!

so like "rice" them: "lice" "wanna eat some lice?

"This is America----we speak English here" "But we're in Japan?!" 😂

Jun: "LACHEL THE DINNER'S READY!" Rachel: "And who's Lachel!???"

I actually appreciate learning why there is an obstacle in pronouncing the the Ls and Rs. Jun helped me learn something today.

AHAHAHAH "RED LOBSTER" 😂 I love you guys

Am I the only one that finds the L/R pronunciation thing cute? Haha😂💕 I think it’s quite funny and charming when Japanese (or even Koreans) have this issue.
