I really like the differences in Coco and Haachama's english. One clearly is practically flipping a switch between Japanese and English, while the other is mentally translating

[@cartoonhanks1708]

Coco's English is pretty trash sometimes though. I'm legit surprised she doesn't know more since she had lived in Georgia. Like her explanations some of the time don't make sense like at all. Like her explaining "mentions" like really its like a 3 word explanation "it means you are talking or making reference to something or someone else." Not hard, she gave this botched scuffed explaination. Either her English is shit, not uncommon for some even 2nd gen asian Americans, or she's faking her laxk of English ability to appear "Japanese" when her Japanese isn't even that good. I've also noticed a lot of these girls put on voices and pretend to be innocent and dumb.

[@misatai5457]

@@cartoonhanks1708 "Pretty trash sometimes" somehow led to "Her English is shit", okay. Live translating words that you subconsciously know into a second language during a livestream is probly harder than you're making it out to be. Could you, with only 5-10 seconds to prepare, explain the proper usage and meaning of "Eaten" compared to "Eat" and "Ate"? Into a different language? Also your last sentence...are you watching vtubers out of spite?

[@Wpnzdespardille]

And you'd think she'd get the hang of it by the 5th picture but you couldn't be more wrong (at least that's what I thought). Then again, she is struggling with the language despite her improvements which I guess makes it even harder for her to process the information...

@@Wpnzdespardille It’s very interesting to see the cultural (or subculture that is memes in this case) differences. And how despite the fact that her English has improved A LOT, this is something not only language based but more importantly, cultural based

[@futab05]

@@redsalmon9966 it's crazy to think that memes now have so many layers of irony that it's basically impossible to explain it to a person that doesn't get it. I can't imagine how any non-american would react to seeing a picture of a creepypasta squidward with the text "don't ask who joe is"

[@angelamybeloved]

She is just way to smart for our memes

[@redsalmon9966]

The most interesting part to me is how she thinks the picture is literally the joke even for the ones she can actually read when many memes are just describing certain situations using seemingly unrelated pictures

[@TheChivalricKnight]

This happens a lot with bilingual people. She's very close to cresting the cusp of understanding many of the memes but is just not quite there. Most of the time it's because of an idiomatic expression or something similar, which are always the hardest aspect of a language to learn. Memes are on a whole new level of idiomatic. She does very well and speaks very well. If she were a tourist somewhere I think I'd have no problem understanding her, since she seems to have a great grasp of conversational English.

This feels wholesome when you remember that Haachama used to live with people who made fun of her English, but then Coco is so patient with her even when she is totally wrong and this whole process is helping her learn English better.

[@StrategicGamesEtc]

[@DoctorScience37]

@@StrategicGamesEtc Some credible people (check out Stephen Krashen's input hypothesis), would argue that that isn't the case, and that you mostly learn a language by hearing/reading a ton of it. Highly recommend the youtuber Matt vs. Japan/MassImmersionApproach, free language learning advice for any language, based on the AJATT method (All Japanese All the Time). It's been helping me a ton. Matt learned Japanese to a very high level almost entirely in the US.

People making fun of her English, she asked a girl out but got rejected cus of the girls parents telling her not to talk to Haachama anymore. Bruh I haven't been able to watch alot of Haachama content but just learning these small info through these comment sections make me sad for her but happy at the same time considering she's in a better place I guess

[@renno2679]

@@DoctorScience37 I kinda wanna say I agree since for my first few years in Australia I barely spoke because I was shy. As a result, just being exposed to the language made me pretty proficient at it to the point where I was studying English Literature in high school. The only problem was that I sucked at speaking and would forget words, which still is a bit of a problem to this day. Writing and listening is no problem, but once I actually have to say stuff or tell a story, I turn into a caveman. So actually using it with other people who speak the language, while being exposed to the language is probably the way to go.

Haachama being Haachama, immediately going to the conclusion that somebody is going crazy in the memes

[@apiocosmico833]

[@hamanotsubasa]

To conclude this, Haachama could only understand memes literally, unless someone explained to her or the joke is relatable to her life experiences. But it is still impressive to see her able to get few of them right. (There's actually a last meme didn't include in this vid, but she was able to get it right too)

[@princealigorna7468]

As a neurodivergent person, I relate. It's not uncommon for autistic and adhd people to have trouble with humor because our brains work on a very literal level. I'm able to understand subtlety better than others because I'm also analytically minded, but some humor still flies over my head.

[@somefishhere]

[@drizztrysylvae3045]

@@somefishhere personally I feel that haachama did a reasonable job translating the meanings save for a handful of not often used words or expressions. The issue lay mostly with her lacking the contextual meanings of what the memes were commenting on. That and some tricky double meanings on a few words. Personally I would have given haachama a lot more credit then Coco did as a result. As she came surprisingly close with a number of explanations, but only lacked one or two contextual clues.

Sometimes Wikipedia is inaccurate because it uses inaccurate, or unreliable sources. For example it might source an article on a News website, but most reporters don't put facts in the articles, they are mostly just the opinion of the writer using minimal facts as evidence for their beliefs. They also cite anonymous sources, or cite a single person in a position of authority who may be lying to preserve their reputation.
