It doesn’t matter how long you’ve studied Japanese or how many kanji you can successfully identify, if you still sound like you’re speaking English when you are in fact speaking Japanese, you’re going to look like a dumb gaijin.

Now that you’ve had a chance to compare the two accents, are you a David Ury or a Ken Tanaka?
