  • Summary

  • We’re back! In this episode, Scoey and I dive into the world of Japanese katakana words with origins outside of English! Ever wondered why backpacks are called 'randoseru' or why cream puffs are oddly named '"shoe" cream?' From Portuguese 'pan' to German 'arubaito,' we’re breaking down the surprising influences of Dutch, French, and even Russian on Japanese vocabulary. Got your own favorite katakana words or stories? Share them in the comments—we’d love to hear! See you in the next one!
