That's hilarious! Reading this I can't tell if your parents were pulling your leg or horribly racist. Please tell us your parents have a sense of humor.
Japanese has three alphabets (and the English alphabet... and those Arabic numbers we are all familiar with)
Hiragana (ひらがな) for native words, grammar, and morphology - it reminds me of cursive
Katakana (カタカナ) it gives an unmistakable clue you are reading a foreign word - but can also be used for emphasis
Kanji (漢字) borrows Chinese characters that can be read with native or borrowed sounds, but generally with the same meaning
Given those and the English letters at your fingertips they have a lot of tools to give context. Grab a newspaper or Manga sometime, even if you don't know the words you can tell each writing system apart pretty easily.
I think that's the point of this post, either as a commentary or specific recommendations to avoid junk. Let's hope LG or Samsung have some good offers.
Nice catch, defiantly kinda (almost) works here too... 😤
