    I thought is was priceless when the poor guy started counting his "tens" using fingers in order to say "100". As if the English speaking nations would really say "100" by repeating the word "ten" so many times.

    Having lived in Tokyo for two years, I can admit that their shows are pretty much just like this clip. However the game shows usually have topless European women in them.

    taiwanese shows are about the same.

    I learned a little bit of Japanese - they don't have the 'v' - they have the nearest subsitute for 'v' which is 'b'. And they don't usually pronounce the 'q' properly - instead they approximate it to 'ko'. That is why when the guy pronounce 'Venice' and 'Question' he pronounce it in a Japanese manner, directly converting the 'v' and the 'q'. There are many foreign loanwords which sounds like English or American but they pronounce it in a Japanese way. For example, uh... tabako (tobacco, cigarette), uh... what else? Depato (department store). Maruko Poro? (Marco Polo), Terebi (television) and the list goes on... :shock:

    Hehe.. thanks. :D

    I guess when he started counting numbers above 19, he got stuck, and in his mind probably he wanted to say "ni jyu (20)" in English, but he directly translate it so it becomes "two tens" and of course, he said ten for twice.

    Ni jyu ni? (22) = ten ten two?

    Ni jyu go? (25) = ten ten five?

    Then how about hyaku (百) (100) = ten x ten??

    On the days of week section, he has Sunday and Saturday in his vocabulary, but not the rest of the days. He is trying to mention Tuesday (he said Ka-you-bi, 火曜日) in English but he translated it into unintelligible word... :shock:
