The same happens with Latin Americans , people assume that we are all Mexicans ...

True ! I have seen worse. One day in a bar I ask for a Japanese whisky. I was served a Thai whisky... And when I made the remark, the waiter told me: it's the same thing. I answered: it's as if I started with a Bordeaux wine and was served a Belgian wine... I'm sorry about that

Fun Fact: Chilies are not native to Asia, Africa, Europe, or Australia. Chili peppers originated in Bolivia and were first cultivated in Mexico. After the Columbian Exchange, many cultivars of chili pepper spread around the world, used for both food and traditional medicine.

[@rabbitazteca23]

Before chili peppers were introduced to China, they used cornel, ginger, Sichuan pepper, and brown mustard to spice their dishes.

As a teacher (high school) I have had kids from all over the world. Sometimes pronouncing names can be hard, but I tell them if I get it wrong, to correct me. I say that it may take a while, but if they keep correcting me, sooner or later I'll get it right. There's no reason not to try to get someone's name right. It just takes patience and persistence.

[@_g_134]

Those last two lines right there. Exactly. Really appreciate your attitude to this, even more so considering you are a teacher. It shows your students It's important to respect things like getting someone's name right, or at least to make an effort; our name is after all a part of our identity. The other person would surely appreciate that we at least tried... and sometimes a name could just be hard for someone to say too Ig Also feel a similar way about spelling- it could either be that your name is pretty common with a certain spelling and I get it, it's understandable ppl might assume that's the spelling itself, but if at least you know it's a name that can have varied spellings, imo, best to ask the person first, like how it might be more likely with rarer names there could of course be ppl who might be chill w how others might say/write their names for varied reasons - some, possibly not all that happy - but personally, have always found it irksome when someone spells my name wrong. But it's in a way thanks to that, that I'll always try my best to make sure not to mispronounce/misspell someone's name ...ok that became long lol

My Chinese friends pronounce my name Jacoboo. I think people from America don't mind their name being pronounced differently by people from other countries, because we're much more used to hearing our language spoken with so many different foreign accents. For me it makes me feel like they are, in a small way, adopting me into their culture by saying my name in their language, instead of the way I would say it.

[@dennissneed2214]

I didn't have that problem: I've had my name mispronounced by other Americans...lol

[@Paputsza]

I think since asian languages have less letters and so if you change how you pronounce things a bit it is more likely to change the meaning entirely. Like if a word has Xe vs Xi they will mean entirely different things, but if you said Jahcob or Jaycub we'd basically still be left with the same word.

[@anndeecosita3586]

I remember as a kid there was this stereotype that Japanese tourists take lots of pictures of everything. I thought this was made up. Then as I got older I discovered a nugget of truth to this. As far as the names this comes many ways. First of all not all European names are English names. depending on what country they’re from some people tend to struggle to pronounce my name so I let them to call me by another version of my name.

[@k.v.7681]

Having worked in tourism... the chinese are the least disciplined with pictures. Japanese people tended to actually drop the pictures a while to listen to the tour presentation, and sneak a picture here and there, which is ok and about what you'd expect from anybody. But they were extremely considerate of the people speaking. Altho I have to say, organised "company trips" were the worst with chinese tourists. Casual chinese tourists weren't that different, save for a couple quirks every culture might have.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

The people who complain all Asian food is spicy are the same people who complain all Mexican food is spicy after having just one taco. If you don't like spicy dishes, there are other dishes within Asian cuisines for you, the same way there are for other cuisines. In Cuban cuisine for example, despite the Habanero being named after Havana, we don't use Habaneros in our cuisine and our cuisine isn't actually spicy but it's still flavorful. The strongest thing you'll get from a Cuban isn't a dish but our espresso, or as we like to call it, a cafecito. I like to call it the strongest stuff on Earth. The cuisines of Latino countries (same goes for Asian countries) are different from each other as cultures evolved and I think people don't realize that.

Foreign names... I was once on a trip to America. I came across a tour group comprised mostly of British chicks, with the additions of a British dude, and a Japanese and Korean gal and guy who I can't remember which was which. They were like a week into their trip at that point. I talked to the Asian girl and asked about her name. She was visibly uncomfortable and said that the other girls call her Sunny since her name is too hard to say. I asked for it anyway, and she said "Soni", with the stress on the second syllable. I repeated the name after her, stressing the second syllable, and her face lit up. She was so happy to hear her name, the gloom was completely lifted up. If you have the chance to learn someone's name properly, do so. Don't try to make up an easier name for them.

[@eljaminlatour6633]

I'm an American, but I usually like rice on my dish, because it felt convenient and it's very filling. And because of my name, Eljamin, is unique many people had a hard time pronouncing and spelling my name some people call me "Elijamin" "Eljin" "Elhamin" and onward. My name is from Hebrew origin, my Dad says that my name means "God's right hand" and when I interact with Japanese streamers they call me in a similar fashion as my name, they refer to me as "エルジャミン(pronounced: Erujamin)" using Katakana. And it made pronouncing my name sort of easier. When I say something in chat, they say "エルジャミンさん、こんにちわ。"(pronunciation: Erujamin-san, Konnichiwa) (translation: hello, Mr. Eljamin) which I'm OK with that. And if a person doesn't pronounce my name very well, I just simply don't mind.

Over here we have many Asian stereotypes... Japanese - Extremely intelligent, proficient in any intellectual activity, specially technology related. - Very shy, organized, polite, honored and traditional. - "Herbivorous" men, lack of attitude when have to deal with dating, sex, etc. - Everybody likes Anime, Manga and robots. - Everyone have ancestry related with Ninja or Samurai. Chinese - Everyone is a Kung Fu master. - Honorable, traditional and religious. - Elders have great health, living many years. - Hard workers, specially phisical work. - Dragons, dragons, dragons... - People in some regions eat dogs and insects. - They speak emphasizing the letter "L", switching to the sound of the letter "R". Korean - Extroverted and funny. - Everybody likes music and dancing. - Everybody likes Kpop, idols and Kdrama. - Independent and strong women. - More open to western culture.

[@SwedishSinologyNerd]

I like how they bounce between English and Korean as their lingua franca, is it because they all know Korean but not Japanese or Chinese? Is Korean considered the "easy" language to learn between the three? Also, my Chinese teacher gave me a Chinese name based off my western name like, nearly 20 years ago, I even have a courtsey name now, no Chinese penname tho. What're Japanese and Koreans' opinion on foreigners adopting a local name to make communication easier?

[@blissavra1933]

I have been looking for a comment of anyone else who noticed that! I'm curious what the medium language is between the three countries just like in the Europe a lot of countries speak French as a medium language or English or German and post USSR countries a lot of them know Russian

[@SwedishSinologyNerd]

@@blissavra1933 Greetings fellow language nerd! =) I mostly see people in Asia use English between each other if they don't know the other's language, which is why I was intrigued that the girls switched between English and Korean. I actually mulled it over by myself and I think a lot of people might pick Korean because it's fairly prestigious economically, has a large cultural output, is "easy" compared to other asiatic languages (no tones, only one script), and for many Chinese it's probably less 'loaded' to tell people you learned Korean instead of Japanese. Also the job situation in S. Korea is so abysmal that there are droves of Koreans moving to neighboring countries for work, which probably makes it a very useful third language option.... I can't really say much about Thailand, Vietnam (I think many of them prefer French actually) or other SE asian languages tho.

[@xXxSkyViperxXx]

i think theyre speaking korean only because this channel is based in south korea and the representative person they got for china and japan mustve been people living in south korea too that moved to work or study there, so those people already learned korean. also, i dont think korean is widely studied in china and japan besides either enthusiasts or people who want to move to work or study in south korea.

[@samsatogardner]

Japanese will generally just convert your name to what it would be in Japanese (i.e., using the syllables they have available to them). So, I suppose they're "butchering" my name by not getting rid of the "u" they are compelled to pronounce in "サム”. I have never once thought of trying to correct them on this. Anyway, I just started learning Korean and it's not hugely different in difficulty from Japanese -- the grammar is quite similar and the pronunciation is a little trickier, but the writing system is much easier.

Guys, if you forget to cook rice in the rice cooker, you can do it fast in a regular pot. Start with cold water, rinsing is pointless with jasmine rice because almost no starch (unless you like extra mushy), High fire until boiling with a little bit of extra water and keep it high until the water is just on top of the rice, then low mid until water is gone, rice should have air holes and it should look like how it looks when cooked, turn that shit off and let it sit. Should be done in less than about 10 mins. Well, he's screwed regardless because 5 mins.

There is a stew in Argentina made of potatoes, rice, tomato sauce and chicken, or sausage. Arroz con pollo, rice with chicken, a winter staple. Otherwise we mostly don't eat rice unlees you are on diet or broke. For me meat if the main dish, everything else is side dishes. Though in winter we do a lot of pasta dishes, everything with meat. Preferably cow meat, budget meat would be chicken.

[@Fishmorph]

The names thing I can completely understand. It’s very difficult to discern sounds you’re not familiar with, and English speakers have to work much harder at it, because almost everyone in the world wants to learn that language. Think about it this way: you are expecting a native English speaking person to be able to discern the unique sounds in *dozens* of different languages on first hearing, while each person learning English only has to recognize the sounds in one. Just in my local area, we have people from Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Somalia, Nigeria, Ghana, Brazil, Mexico, Cuba, Iran, Israel, Russia, India, and so on. They only have to recognize my name in English, a language they are already learning; I have to be able to duplicate the sounds in *all* those languages, most of which I have never studied. Most of the time I think we don’t get enough credit for trying.

We would say, “sir those are just plain noodles”, or something like that.

As a Korean, I cook rice every morning so I have it to eat throughout the day. I keep it in my rice cooker on "keep warm" for an hour, then keep it off for an hour and a half.
