So back around the end of last term, we started a unit on Feudal Japan in humanities.
Being a complete Japan nerd, I was pretty psyched for this unit (and I still am)
It was all going well, until
My teacher butchered a pronunciation
THE HORROR
And as someone who learns Japanese, i irks me when people mispronounce Japanese words
LIKE HELLO ITS PRONOUNCED AH-SO NOT AZO YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE S IN THE WORD ASO AND BOT A Z OKAY
Ahem
Moving on
So I sat there stewing away, and my teacher walks past and I'm like quietly:
"You mispronounced this word and since Naha is the capital of Okinawa, the rest of the class won't be able to find it in this map you've given us."
She's like "okay thanks"
I am now giving my teacher pronunciation lessons.
AT HER REQUEST
SHE KINDA WANTS ME TO POINT OUT HER MISTAKES
SHE EVEN LET ME GIVE HER HOMEWORK
she butchered it
Can't pronounce Tokugawa Ieyasu?
NO SUSHI FOR YOU
jk
As such, my classmates, knowing that I'm a Japan nerd, keep asking me questions
My teacher has forbidden me to answer them.
I AM THAT MUCH OF A JAPAN NUT
TEACHER-SAN EVEN ASKED ME TO SEND HER A LIST OF WORDS WITH THEIR PHONETIC PRONUNCIATIONS
LIKE WOW
WHEN DID I BECOME SENSEI
School starts tomorrow yay more Japan
Hopefully there won't be anymore butchered pronunciations
