So apparently that's the stereotype how Asian people pronounce L and R sound

很明顯的 亞洲人如何發L和R的音是一種刻板印象

But like Japanese people don't really speak like that

Although we do have problems telling the difference between L and R sounds, right?

雖然我們確實在L和R的發音的分辨上常遇到困難，對吧?

Japanese has "ra ri ru re ro" as sounds which are Romanized as R's.

日文有羅馬拼音開頭是R的"拉哩嚕咧囉"的發音

Which is why we say ramen in English. R-A-M-E-N.

比如我們說拉麵的英文"R-A-M-E-N"

And kind of like a D in there a little bit sometimes too.

Yeah, like when we pronounce "ra re ru re ro," the tip of your tongue touches the back of your higher teeth. So higher teeth and lower teeth--your tongue touches here.

是的  就像我們發"拉哩嚕咧囉"的音時，你的舌尖碰到上排牙齒後面。

So it's pronounced more like an L but it kind of sounds closer to an R for us.

所以它的發音是比較像L的，雖然對我們來說似乎更像R

So that's why when Japanese people hear the English L and R, it's hard for them to differentiate between the two because their sounds are like right in the middle.

這就是為什麼當日本人聽到英文的L和R時

So if there's a word that Japanese people don't know, and they can tell that there's either an R or L there, then they're usually guessing whichever one they think it might be.

他們很難區分兩者，因為它們就像是介於中間值

(Because we can't tell) Which could be wrong.

如果有一個日本人不懂的單字，並且他們無法分辨R和L，他們就通常會猜其中一個。

So, if a Japanese person is speaking English, then their R can turn into an L or their L can turn into an R.

(因為我們無法分辨ㄚ) 並且那可能是錯的

It can go either way. It's not that horrible stereotypical "Herro" accent.

因此，如果日本人說英語， 那麼它們的R會變成L或L會變成R

And Japanese people don't even do that really strong R anyway.

"Herro." No, no we don't. Right? That would be like "Hello, herro."

他們的口音的其實並不像"Herro"那麼可怕

So even though Jun's English is REALLY good --he basically sounds like a native English speaker--

日本人甚至也不會發出那麼重的R的發音

he still has issues with the R and L sometimes.

不，我們不這樣。 對吧？就像“Hello, herro。”

Even though sometimes I know he knows what the word is, he says the wrong one.

Like you said "diffelence" the other day.

基本上他可以把英文講得像母語般好

Like three days ago. I don't remember, but maybe I have. "DiffeLence."

即使有時我知道他懂這個詞是什麼，他還是說錯了

三天前吧。 我不記得了，但可能有吧

Today, we're just going to test me telling the difference between L and R sounds.

I'm going to read Jun's words in English and he's going to repeat them and try to guess whether they're R or L s

今天，我們將要考驗我能否辨認L和R的差別

K. It's-- What does that mean? And what is it?

It's you're wary of something. You're cautious about something. Okay. Leery.

Can you stop singing and just say the word again please. Piña colada.

這不代表任何意思    這什麼意思啦~？

Good job. It means nothing. What does that mean?

It sounds like the toshokan "library." Right.

好的。我覺得第一個字母不是L，是R

but I cannot tell how they are different.

Okay. I think the first one is not L, it's R.

Rivalry. How many syllables does it have? I can't tell.

It's the same number of syllables as library.

不，就是卡車 我認為這是英式說法
