Q: Why do Japanese people have difficulties in pronouncing English?

Ichigo KurosakiWhen I watch Anime, I notice that Japanese English pronunciation is really bad, they twist all the sounds, and they can't pronounce sounds like "L". I think English is the easiest language when it comes to pronunciation, and I don’t think it has something related to their native language, as for ...

When you say "I think English is the easiest language when it comes to pronunciation", let me respectfully but vehemently disagree. English is full of consonant clusters and has more diphthongs than words. Its pronunciation is not "easy" in any objective terms, and, if anything, it is Japanese pronunciation that can be claimed to be objectively easy, as the language is very strictly limited to a CV structure with just a couple of exceptions. — LjL May 2 '17 at 14:16

Q: Important Notice: Linguistics SE needs new leadership

AnaLinguistics Stack Exchange is a small site, but plays host to a strong community of experts. That's why it’s strange that I can't find anyone to step up as a new pro-tem moderator.

To everyone: Moderating a website is not just having a diamond next to your nickname. It's also voting to close a question, flagging content, voting, etc. All of this small actions help the community shape itself.

Not to mention other things, but this one is really important. If you see a bad question, vote to close. If you see spam/problems, flag. — Alenanno ♦ Apr 7 '14 at 17:12
