    I have no idea what any of that means, but I’ve recognised the word “coffee” on the cup and everything else became irrelevant. I want one.

      The cup is using Japanese letters that look somewhat like English letters to spell “Soul of Coffee”. The comment is how those letters are read in Japanese.

        I’ve been learning Japanese for over two years now and English is not my native language. I had no idea what was going on.

        I hate this

        Ooooooh, that makes a lotta sense! I really should’ve abused my first ex’s willingness to share her knowledge of Japanese…

        Edit: thank you!

      No wonder why I couldn’t read that, I was trying to read the Japanese because I’m learning it

      It’s not Japanese, they really should not do that because their going to confuse a lot of bilingual folk

      All us former or present weebs that once learned Hiragana, Katakana, maybe 5 words and phrases, and basically nothing else, understand. (And the people actually speaking Japanese, too)

        You can’t learn Japanese from anime alone

        If you think you can then あなたはバカ

        (Please do not reply to me in Japanese because I can’t communicate it in fluently yet because I’m still learning it)

          Oh, back then I totally also used… some websites I found on google. And, uhm… I think I remember printing out a torrented professional Japanese handbook, making a fancy folder to put it in and then… never actually using it. :D

          As you can see, teenage/young adult me was very realistic and very committed!
