I have a rapists wit!
You mis-spelt "white". And someone who does rap is a "rapper", not a "rapist".

I don't rap like the others, but I'm white. Will that do you?

Do you have any idea at all how difficult that word is for Japanese people to say?

It's nearly as difficult as "vocabulary".

Dead easy.

No "r" or "l", no "v" or "b".

And few consonant combinations. The only problem would be the 'th'.

Not for Japanese people, because they can't distinguish between them. "lover" and "rubber" sound the same here. I know they're simple consonants, but there are problems with mouth shape and tongue position here that you wouldn't believe...

I really enjoy teaching here... Kissing practice is the best pronunciation homework because it leads to all kinds of practical excercise...

I was talking about Mrs Smith's Fish Sauce Shop. I know which sounds are difficult for Japanese people. I'll never understand why my brother and his Japanese wife called their first child Albert...

Do the Japanese put an "uh" at the end of words with consonants at the end like Koreans do?

"Al-BOHT-uh"

Yes, unless the word ends with an 'n'. But they can't say an 'l' either. My sister-in-law has learnt to pronounce "Albert" quite well, but first it sounded something like "Ah-bey-tuh". In Japan he uses his Japanese name, I think.

And what, pray, might that Japanese name be, child?
