Improve your English vocabulary with these 16 words that come from Japanese! It is common for languages to borrow words from each other, especially when the word represents something that is found originally in a different culture. For example, the word “futon” in English is borrowed from the Japanese language to represent a folding bed. We use many words that are borrowed from Japanese without even knowing it. In this lesson, I will teach you 16 words that are originally Japanese but that we frequently use in English, like karaoke, emoji, katana, kamikaze, bonsai, haiku, sensei, tycoon, panko, tofu, zen, and more. This vocabulary lesson is for everyone regardless of level.
From what I see , you know the grade 1 kanjis :D
There is a small lack at nami kanji of the tsunami.
I’m also learning Japanese these days and having so much fun :D
For now I got used to exact 462 different kanji,but still there is a long way waiting on this journey.

In the city that I live, there’s a new brand of bread called ‘panko’. I guess all these words were borrowed to brazilian portuguese as well.
