sava 0 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Out of curiousity, for those of you who are japanese, what are some words you think are funny ? A while ago, we had a german exchange student stay with us, she would crack up every time she heard the word 'roundabout' (it's actually funnier if you say it with a german accent).

blinkin'ek 0 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Believe it or not, roundabouts can be confusing and frightening to people who have no experience of one. So I've found. A Japanese friend of mine HATED them in the UK, especially big very busy ones. Link to post Share on other sites
