Some of the words she pronounced incorrectly, though. "Yo~tsu," is suppose to be more like "yo-" and then you stop in the middle. I don't know why is got romanized like that.

Thing is, if she spent many of her formative years here, she shouldn't make the simple mistakes she is making. She is a military kid, she probably went to American school on the base and only got the basic Japanese they teach there.
