because vowels are for pussies

  1. and there’s me, a czech guy learning japanese

    but to be honest, pronouncing japanese words is INCREDIBLY easy for czechs.

  2. To be honest, letters ‘l’ and ‘r’ can kinda work like vowels in that they can be elongated properly. Compare that to attempting to elongate something like ‘d’ or ‘t’ – you can’t, you just kinda pause or trip yourself.

  3. This is also a bit of a tongue twister for me, an American learning Czech, although possibly not quite as much. I have much more difficultly with words like “uprostřed”

    Edit: I just realized what the meme is saying about the Japanese language and now I feel a bit dumb

  4. each word has vowel all of them have schwa alias ə), you can’t pronounce anything without vowels, we just don’t write them

    for example prst is actually prəst (“ə” is english article “a”)
