Don't get upset because only a few words don't sound perfect. The fact you speak English so well is amazing. You're very talented!

[@nickkledis4195]

To add to this, depending if the speaker is from the US (even different parts of the US), Canada or England we can barely understand each other and pronounce things differently! Your pronunciation is great and I don't even want to start with my Japanese pronunciation!

[@Zach-rt9kg]

@@nickkledis4195 very true, I’m Canadian and half British, so my uncle lives in Britain, I can’t rlly understand anything he says just because if his thick his accent is

[@Reicha]

Agreed. And I'm not a native speaker, so I'm not as nice as you tend to be about it as a native, either. ;D You have some of the best pronounciation and familiarity with the language that I've ever heard in a person from Japan (or any part of East Asia). I've studied Japanese for a few years, and there is a _leap_ between that and english. Pronounciationwise, grammarwise and everything. You have to think aaall different, and then convince your mouth to cooperate. x-x Not to mention what other people are saying - the 'correct pronounciation' differs more than in most languages with english. So much so that in schools over here we're made to choose and stick to a regional dialect, so they can grade our pronounciation xD

[@renab.7390]

Your pronunciation is pretty good, man, don't beat yourself up over it.

I don't ever want bilingual people like George calling their pronunciation "horrible". Anyone who speaks more than one language fluently is amazing. George's English is perfect! If an English speaker had to do what he does in his videos IN JAPANESE....imagine that pronunciation!😅 Personally, I'd be at the level of a newborn baby lol.

[@bombomos]

Honestly, as an english speaker for 28 years, I'm only just now realizing how similar the words "tourist" and "terrorist" sound. That's totally not something to get upset over, people in america sound like theyre saying all kinds of crazy stuff, that's what accents are!

[@grimsladeleviathan3958]

Funny thing is, George actually caught a lot of the jokes in the video, more than a lot of other English reactors! So many jokes, like the "Someone's cutting onions" joke went over so many people's heads, but George understood it. Your English is very fluent and very clear, and I am super impressed! You're amazing and really fun to watch!

[@bobbydugg3832]

Hi George, Squidward is the name of a character from the American kids show Spongebob, google tells me it was translated to イカルド in Japanese translation. Also, America has failed me. The teriyaki burger is something I now need to try.

[@trojanboy88]

Ikarudo eh? Sounds like a play on words for Ricardo, well played.

[@LumiLunar]

@@trojanboy88 to me it sounds like Ika (meaning squid in Japanese) Rudo which sounds like rude Which is pretty accurate lol.

[@michaelbell1289]

@@LumiLunar I'm pretty sure Rudo comes from Eduwarudo, which is the Japanese pronunciation of Edward. So Ikarudo is essentially a direct translation of Squidward.

[@LumiLunar]

@@michaelbell1289 yeah I'm sure my interpretation isn't accurate. It was just a bad pun lol.

[@CosmicPlatonix]

Also, George looked pretty confused at how Tentacruel was drawn when it evolved, so it's worth pointing out that that face is from "Handsome Squidward", from an episode of SpongeBob where Squidward's face was badly injured, and the injury comically made him look more handsome than usual.

[@LuckyOwly]

Your English is seriously impressive, don't beat down on the little stuff. You use expressions most couldn't, understand context well(both above your English level), and you've got the humour down too. Take it from an English teacher ;) Thanks as always for brightening up my day

[@kelliviansim9538]

You're actually one of the few Japanese people whose pronunciation that I can actually understand, so you don't have to worry about it😂😂 Funny story: I met a Japanese person when I was having an English course. He had a very strong Japanese accent, and he speaks very softly so I couldn't understand what he was saying. And I was too embarrassed to ask him to repeat himself a 3rd time, so I just nodded my head and smiled awkwardly every time he speaks😅

[@letizialorusso1950]

I completely agree, and I also do that when some family members talk in our dialect, I can never understand them 😂😂

Teriyaki Burger sounds sooooo good. They don't sell those in Texas McDonalds, let alone any other American McDonalds (As far as im aware as). Also very cool knowing that you are also a fan of Pokemon series. I have a copy of Japanese Pokemon Crystal. Myy Grandma is from Nagasaki, but moved to USA after WW2. She translated a lot of the game for me, despite forgetting a large portion of Japanese after living for the states for so long.

[@kumonoameai]

No worries about pronunciation. You honestly speak English much better than a lot of native speakers I know. The fact that you speak more than one language is an achievement all in itself ^.^

[@sunnyday1289]

Didn't we all try to catch a legendary pokemon about 100 times with a normal pokeball before we (finally) unpacked the masterball and then fell into bed at 4 a.m. completely exhausted but happy?🤷‍♀️ a life experience that not only taught us the value of a masterball, but also taught us patience and endurance!😂💪👍

[@pablodanieljiang961]

well, not me, always gave them red and under status, made catch easier with normal pokeball

[@td8008]

Considering that the American English R is so weird and we also have the L sound, your pronunciation is good considering how hard those are for Japanese people to pronounce especially in words like "squirrel". Your English pronunciation is miles beyond my Japanese skill which is about level 0.01 😅

Cool coincidence that Corn was so important to the run since Nuzleaf is where the term "Nuzlocke" came from, There was a comic that kinda invented Nuzlockes originally called "Pokémon Ruby: Hard Mode" that featured a gag where a Nuzleaf who resembled a character from the US TV show "Lost" named John Locke, as a recurring gag, "Nuz" from Nuzleaf (コノハナ in jp) and "Locke" from John Locke

I worked at McDonald's for years and I learned that they really do change menu items based on location, even here in the USA. I haven't heard of the teriyaki burger, but that's probably because teriyaki is more popular there than here. It's kind of interesting because if you travel and go to a McDonald's you can usually see something different on the menu.
