Me : Har? Come again?
Boss : GAN-GO-LO-SHI-DO.
Me : Hai! GAN-GO-RO-U-SHI-DO ne.
Minutes later....
Me : Boss, it's ganglioside.
Boss : Eh? GAN-RI-O-SHI-DO.
Me : Yup. It's G-A-N-G-L-I-O-S-I-D-E. Like Gan + Lee + o + see.
It's interesting to work with a Japanese Boss whose Engrish requires a little creativity to understand at times. For example,
Disneyland will always be Di-zu-ni-ran-do..
Raffles Hotel will always be La-fu-ru ho-te-ru..
Fullerton will always be flat-ton..
Chijmes will always be chi-chi-mi.
So maybe that's why he never really get to where he wants to go har. =P
Well, Moi also found a funny Japanese learning Engrish video, it's a real TV english-learning programme, and I can still catch it everynight on NHK for about 10-15mins but a slightly different version one. You'll be amazed how the Japanese love to learn.
