English... only understood by Japanese speakers!? The mysteries of "wasei-eigo"

Learn about "English" (or English-sounding) words unique to Japan, and some examples you can use right away.

Descrizioni  

Japanese has a lot of loan words (which creates a katakana nightmare for Japanese language learners), but did you know that some of these words are wasei-eigo or English made in Japan? In other words, there are "English" (or English-sounding) words unique to Japan. For example...

・Questionnaire
・Laptop
・Stapler
・Office worker
・Gas station
・Motorcycle
・Steering wheel
・Gas (pedal)
・Rear-view mirror
・Microwave
・To go
・For here
・Naïve
・Unique

If you use these words to a Japanese speaker, they might not understand what you mean, or they might not get the correct nuance!

In this lesson, I will let you know what wasei-eigo word you can use instead to get your point across. (Exploring the origins of the wasei-eigo word is fun too!)

I look forward to chatting with you about this fascinating topic!
  1. I speak both Japanese and English so upon booking a lesson please let me know whether you'd prefer me speak primarily in English or Japanese.
  2. I will send you feedback and summary notes after each lesson.
