Do you ever find yourself pronouncing English words in Japanese manner?

Lately I've started to call ice cream "aisu" and tests "tesuto". I kind of think they actually make more sense than the official pronunciations.

No you fucking weeaboo s

French here, things are worst on my side.
I'm not even saying anymore "aie" but "iーteee".
Even worse when saying "kon-piu-ta" instead of "computer".

My only problem so far is pronouncing 'r's like Japanese.

Why is that then?

Yes, yes, very funny.

But seriously though, I do sometimes have Japanese words come to mind more readily than their English counterparts.

The other day after work I had a couple days off and thought to myself that its nice to have the "yoyuu" and it took a little time for me to come up with the "free time" I meant.

It's not because I'm a stupid fucking weeaboo who thinks their better, I think it's just a consequence of approaching bilingualism. These words are entering my repertoire and so they just naturally come to tongue. Unfortunately they're useless to communicate with 100% of everyone I interact with so I don't actually SAY these words like some lunatic.

Everyone is familiar with the phenomenon: you have a word RIGHT THERE ON THE TIP OF YOUR TONGUE but it doesn't come. You get other words that might come close and maybe you settle for one. It just happens that many of those words, for me, are becoming Japanese.

It's just one of those... wait why am I posting this.

Yes, I say for example I say karaoke instead of carry-oaky.

But that's a Japanese word. Your joke may have gone over my head, but I cannot be sure on the internet

But yeah, I try to pronounce Japanese words in the actual Japanese manner as well. It feels a little awkward if you try to do it in an English sentence, though. Like, I'd probably just settle for carry-oaky if I was speaking to my friends and looking for suggestions of what to do for a night on the town, or whatever

I know, I know, but it's just an example, okay?

Nah, but I've used their backformations sometimes.

Saying "I missed!" to mean that I made a mistake (ミスった） etc

[Anonymous No.]

Yeah, instead of saying "Christ" I always say "christo" now. I don't even know if that's Japanese. It's become a habit with that word, though.

Reminds me of how flabbergasted I was when I first encountered the word ディスる.

[Anonymous No.]

I do the opposite. I pronounce English words in English when talking in a Japanese setting. I don't know if I should be doing that or not though. I figure it would be an improvement to pronounce it correctly than pronounce it the way that people who don't have certain sounds in their language do.

no but I can't even speak my mothers tongue anymore. I just think in english.

Just think of the analogous situation: what do you think of a Frenchie who pronounces his words all... Frenchie... and shit. They're French words, to be sure, but they are also English.

You probably sound a bit weird but they mostly don't care.

No because my non-germanic non-romance native language does ``forceful transmutation of English phonetics'' thing enough on its own.
