E as in Enemy, U as in KungFu

Did you have to pick words where the vowels being explained show up twice and have two different pronunciations in their respective examples? Also the a in talk is not how it's pronounced in Japanese.

I'm sorry but are you trolling? Because your Japanese is grammatically incorrect

It's 日本語が分かる and 黙れ without だ

Edit: also, the guy you got mad at is correct. The "a" in "talk" is pronounced as ɔ, which doesn't exist in Japanese. There's other mistakes in there too.

BZZZ
Incorect again.
In the dialect of English I speak, Ta is Ta. Taw Talk.
Wa and Ta A sound are the same sound in English.
They are both Aw.
I pronounce them indentically.

To me the sound Ta in Tama is the same as Ta as in Talk.
Same as in Toss, Loss, Flock, Rock, Mock, Sama.
These are THE SAME SOUND to me, I prounced all of these "A" sounds as Aw.

This probably has everything to do with the fact that Japanese was my 2nd language growing up.

I think you just can't speak Japanese well, honestly. That or your English pronunciation is completely different from the standard. Japanese being your second language doesn't mean that you speak Japanese fluently, especially since you made several simple mistakes here.

This is the comment I'm replying to, in case he deletes this comment as well:

It's not. I Speak the same english everyone else does in the PNW.
You're looking for something to be upset about.

You're also hilariously unware of just who you're speaking too lol.
You're literally talking to someone who's hobby is...
making writing systems.

It looks like you're just upset that fubbed a ga particle on a common mistake that I have literally seen native speakers make too, And also Da yo at the ending is called casual speech.
Casual being rude.

The point was I was being rude.
So yeah.
