Jeff went out with his friend from Singapore the other day.<\/span><\/p>\n

I knew he took her to our favorite restaurant near our apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n

So I asked him,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Me: How was the restaurant? \u3000<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeff: They changed the menu design. They didn’t write menu descriptions, but only dish names and hand drawings of the dishes. So I couldn’t tell what they were.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Me: So…what did you guys eat?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeff: I ate pasta. And she ate….something not pasta.Me: hahahahaha there are so many food not pasta!!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeff: The almost all dish names are Katakana! It takes forever to read Katakana so I choose whatever I could read in Chinese characters (Kanji). .<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

You might think Katakana\u00a0is easier to understand for foreigners as it is used for the things from foreign countries. <\/span><\/p>\n

But for Taiwanese Jeff, Kanji is a lot easier to understand. <\/span><\/p>\n

Also Katakana actually sounded very differently from its actual English counterpart. <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, even though his English skill is very good, it takes time for him to understand what it means. <\/span><\/p>\n

The only Katakana word he can recognize the best is his department’s name in the company he served previously.LOL<\/span><\/p>\n
