  • For those who can’t read, the text says
    ○ックスするまで出られない部屋
    Which is “A room you can’t leave before you have **x”
    Reading with the pink corrections turns it into
    ワックスかけたら乾燥するまで出られない部屋
    Which is “A room you can’t leave before the applied wax dries”

    I think there is a doujinshi with the same name as the first sentence, but I’m not diving that rabbit hole.


  • If you spoke with any Japanese people in the wild, it’s very hard to find those who can speak proper English. Most of the time they’ll have some basic vocabulary and will be able to understand what you are saying, but saying anything themselves is practically impossible. I often say that Japanese is a phonetically impaired language, mainly because of how little valid sound combinations there are in the language, being risen surrounded with only Japanese trains your voice cords to only produce these sounds. And Japanese phonetics barely intersect with English ones. You see the problem, right?

    And Japanese who are hanging out in places where they can meet with foreigners are obvously better at it than your average Japanese person.

    だから、私日本語を学んでいる。この方で楽だ。
