In this episode, Devin and I talk about Japanese words that have found their way into English! We break down the meaning behind words like “karaoke” (bet you didn’t know it means “empty orchestra”) and chat about how terms like “tycoon” and “emoji” became part of our everyday vocabulary. Along the way, we share some fun stories about how these words connect cultures and even surprise us with their origins. It’s a laid-back conversation full of laughs, interesting language facts, and some cultural nuggets you won’t want to miss. Stick around until the end—and, as always, Excuse-me-massen, and see ya!
