I was Brain Training on the way to work on Friday…I was playing Word Blend which ask you to identify word spoken simultaneously…

I was doing really well! Until I heard this.. Ka-Ra-Tee. I didn’t know what it was! And gave up! And turns out.. It’s Karate – KA-RA-TEH! Argh! That cost me some points! Grrr. Please listen the correct pronunciation here!

And the same night, I was watching some show on tv and this guy said he likes to eat Wa-ka-MEE! Please lah!! It is Wakame as in Wa-ka-meh!

Argh! I hate it when the ang mohs like to anyhowly pronounce Japanese words! Here is a useful list on how to pronounce some common Japanese words. And to all you westerners who like to say Ka-ree-okee, please check this out!!
