i feel like andrew would be good at learning languages in general, he seems to have a good ear for pronunciation and ability to deduce from what he already knows/remembers. it's fun to watch or maybe that's just my inner former linguistics student surfacing lmao.
I like how Andrew learns from his travels. He seems the type to go home with new insights and learnings about the places he has visited. And as always, Rie is fantastic. I adore them as individuals as much as I adore their friendship.
Same like 'kami' which could mean hair, paper or god. It depends on the writing or the sentence they're in. And if you listen carefully, you could hear the difference when she said sake (salmon) and sake (sake).
It's all in the intonations. If you think Japanese is hard, Chinese is even worse since that's their whole foundation. Also the characters are completely different. For one, sake has the water radical and salmon has the fish radical.
Yeah you guys are right... Chinese is harder.. I gave up multiple times on learning them. So now I just asked my Chinese friends to teach me curse words and how to jokingly insult someone like "you're a perv" 😂
I really love Rie and Andrew's friendship. Their interactions are always cute and so pure. Worth It episodes with Rie are my favorites. And also, Eating Your Feed, too!!! Their are my top 2 favorite Tasty producers.
I’m relearning Japanese and I’m so happy I was able to understand maybe half of what Rie was saying. Also, Rie and Andrew are my faves! Clicked on this video so fast ♥️
I've missed seeing Andrew and love when he and Rie get together. He is always so interested in really learning something and she loves it when someone tries/learns something new. Thanks!
Understanding Japanese myself and watching Andrew navigate through Rie’s instructions was really interesting! I was able to see what it’s like to hear Japanese from the perspective of someone who doesn’t speak/understand it fluently. And the “sake” and “salmon” part was hilarious 😂
How I miss them! I miss the worth it creeeeww 😆 But seeing Andrew and Rie in one frame kinda heal my heart. Andrew expression really make me laugh tho!
In Spain, we have a dish that is actually like that. We put the fish, (usually sea eel), cut into pieces into a very, very strong marinade. Then we drench it in flour and fried it. Sounds kind of gross, but actually it's delicious. The fish is hot and moist. So flavorful and juicy. The skin is crispier than any potato chip, with a slight chew from the soft fat of the own skin. I leave here the ingredients of the marinade: smoked sweet paprika, white vinegar, oregano, salt, and garlic. Just blend all together and leave the fish there for a minimum of 12 hours, if you don't add any water. If you add some water you can leave it for longer. When the time pass, pet it dry with some paper towels. Coat thoroughly with a mix of flour and a little bit of coarse salt, and fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. Please eat hot.
Salmon is called in two ways in Japanese; shake and sake. Which one to use depends on each person. But sake can be confusing because of the homonyms(alcohol sake) so I feel like shake tends to be used more often. *the pitch accents of alcohol sake and fish sake are different so they can be actually differentiated.
This reminds me a lot of jamaican eskovich fish my mom makes it at christmas it has the same fried fish and pickled vegetables elements. I love stuff like this
reminds me of my first trip to japan. I knew how to read hiragana, some katakana, had a small phrase library memorized, some vocabulary and a dream. We got by with that, charades and sound effects.
I genuinely can imagine Andrew marrying a Japanese woman. He loves immersing himself in other cultures, and a lot about his personality seriously suits it - attention to detail and quality, honour, etc.
At first I wasn't into the concept of this series because all they have to do is read her gestures, but I actually really like it now! It's cool to expose the viewers to the Japanese culture, cuisine, and language. I feel like this is a way to put the spotlight on Rie's culture without necessarily Americanizing it! :)
