daily lessons



Heres a little lesson I can share with you, its a guessing game. This is a word, it is English but it is Japanese. It is probably useful if you come to Japan. See if you can guess what it is.
Suta-baru.......there is an elongation of the letter a
If you break it down it looks like this: su-ta-ba-ru......any luck yet?
Ok, if you are with your buddy and you want to go and get a coffee you say "Lets Suta-baru"....
Essentially it is is Japanification of the word Starbucks! So if you desperately want a coffee, on the street ask where is the closest Suta-baru :) ii desu ne!! (great!!)
