1:16 she refers to using the word taco as an English word. I realize she was learning back then but did she not know Taco Bell sells ‘Mexican' food? So learning English from there is like learning Italian at Pizza Hut.
I mean just having conversations to your co-worker and customers alone already improves your English verbally, which I think is what she's trying to accomplish, so it doesn't really matter if she worked at a taco bell or pizza hut
@@yoshinobhl you say that but most Hispanic immigrants here in America that have lived there (Texas) longer than me, you or Pikamee (when she forgot English she's about the same) have been alive and have primarily English speaking relatives still cant form an understandable sentence in English let alone understand even when spoken to slowly. So if someone talked to her is not what I was referring to, I'm talking about working at taco bell (reading and learning its menu she says), which uses SPANISH words on its menu, as a way to help her learn ENGLISH (she thinks taco is English, watch again if you don't believe me) is counterproductive.
"I'll have 2 appreciates, a number 9 appreciate, a number 6 with extra appreciate, a number 7 appreciate, 2 forty-fives appreciate one with cheese, and a large appreciate"
I wish I was a cute Japanese girl while working fastfood in Texas. Cuz working fastfood in Texas as a Hispanic guy was a nightmare. I was constantly getting shit on by customers lol
Kind of off-topic, but during her stream she brought up places she has lived. She brought up Guam, which is where I used to live. I was so excited to learn that, and that she is probably a military child as well, which has been a theory of mine, and now I am almost positive she is.
Makes sense. We know her dad is American and combined with living in Guam for a while, most likely means her dad and mom met while her dad was posted in Japan.
@@Ruukasu00 most likely AF. Guam has a joint navy-af base but since she mentioned Texas, it's probably AF. The only navy bullets in texas is HM and MA school plus some specific shore duties.
nah the reverse uno card is working at like Hotto Motto to learn japanese and when someone says "sumimasen" you say you don't serve a dish called sumimasen
As a Texan, I would argue that you're probably going to make it just as far if not farther if you know Spanish due to our immense and continually growing Hispanic population. Hell, I need to catch up on it myself because I can just barely speak enough to ask "donde esta el bano?" (Where's the bathroom?)
it really is lol. theres also the fact that most countries over here in asia dont have small talk culture when it comes to business establishments and stuff. i remember being taken aback when a clothing store employee told me something along the lines of "hey that's a nice shirt, i like it" while i was paying for stuff i bought and i never figured how to respond to most stuff other than smiling awkwardly
i love how pika is open to talk about things like her dad issues and stories like this. though maybe it's just that im forgetting that she is on a different group from holo and nijisanji.w
Her english is so uncanny valley but I love it. It's like, usually with english there is still dialect and accent, like a southern accent or a New Jersey accent ect, but with hers there is no accent. At all. It's so strange, and I love it and am mesmerized by it
I kinda disagree, her accent is distinctly American. Her English is great but it's like 0.5 steps away from native level which I think gives it a sorta uncanny valley factor (she can transition kinda weirdly sometimes but it doesn't affect the flow). Like her accent reminds me of Cali's a lot, which makes me think Cali is probably from the midwest
There's totally an accent, and it's Japanese/Texan. It took me until literally right now to place it, but her learning English makes the drawl that sometimes creeps in make *a lot* more sense.
This reminds me of when I used to take pictures of tourists at Niagara Falls as a summer job. The company I worked for had a program for college students from Thailand to come over to the falls and work for some sort of credits or something. Anyways, some were better at English than others, but I befriended all of them really quickly and I helped a lot of them understand English better, I had a lot of fun doing that, and was quite literally the only positive thing I can remember from that job.
Working a service job is already hell, imagine doing that without knowing the language of the country. I'm surprised she kept such a positive attitude through all the entitled karens.
You know, I've never known what people referred to as an American accent until this moment. Holy shit, she sounds more American than anyone else I've heard here.
She sounds too American to be a new English speaker. Not to mention her Japanese sounds forced and unnatural. What we have is a white woman acting Japanese for views
the moment she said there's no "appreciate" it hurts my gaijin (in terms of foreigner) soul. back in elementary school, i talked to a foreigner (I'm Indonesian, for context) when buying a book, the same kind of thing happened to me and left both of us confused. i kept thinking about the whole thing the night after and couldn't sleep until i read the dictionary. Shit was omega awkward for me.
Imagining hearing someone speaking broken English at a Taco Bell drive thru in Texas, but when you get to the window they're Japanese instead of Mexican lol
Bro you tellin me I can buy my #3 combo with a pineapple whip, a cheesy gordita crunch and an order of nachos supreme from Amano Pikamee herself? Rad...
this is killing me since I say "appreciate it" all the time at the drive thru and occasionally get weird reactions. maybe I should just stick with "thank you" lol.
So she learned english from Taco Bell huh

Huge kusa
I'm now convinced I've met Pica at some point.
She speaks English so well and with such an Americanized accent that you could tell me she was American and I'd believe it.
Her dad is American so she is half, but she spent most of her life in Japan.
She did live in America for 3 years..
I wish I was a cute Japanese girl while working fastfood in Texas. Cuz working fastfood in Texas as a Hispanic guy was a nightmare. I was constantly getting shit on by customers lol
We texans have still more to go societally. Sorry about that man.
Major Cbass Hope that was a bit.
Nah man just go where theres only hispanics. then you realize no hispanics go to taco bell

Eating at “The Taco Bell” sounds way classier than just eating at “Taco Bell.”
It's *the* Taco Bell, there's only one store in the world and she worked at it.
Not speaking English very well in Texas sounds terrifying lol

As someone who moved to oklahoma to learn english and who has gone to texas while still learning... I can confirm. It is, indeed, VERY, terrifying.
Dani Azakura never underestimate the terror of Texas
There's at least 300K illegal aliens there that can't speak English too.
I relate to that one guy in chat at around 1:29 who memorized the McDonald's menu even though they don't work there.
he must have gotten inspired by big smoke.
also i respect you for memorizing the McDonald's menu

Yup
She’s part of the Voms Project group. But yeah, I do agree with holo being more strict about this
What u mean Dad Issues? Do you have a link?

shes both, lived in texas for a while then went back to japan
Well that's because her accent is good

I love pikamee’s broken English, it’s so cute.
"I worked at a spanish restaurant to learn english" Amazing.
..."spanish" is a bit of a stretch when you're talking about taco bell.
Holy shit she speaks English
Always has been
YES YES YES YES YES
she does.
aaaaaahhhhh the secondhand embarassment is killing meeeeeeee
THE taco bell
This hurts to watch, but it's so cute
Pikamee is hands down my favorite UA-camr; she alone makes every other Vtuber better by sheer proximity XD

I miss her
"Can i have some chicken?"
-Chicken machine broke
"Understandable have a good day ✌"
I love how she addresses getting out of the United States the same as someone would address getting out of prison
It's a fair comparison tbh
Yea
I love how this and another clip are on Pika's actual english stream playlist
man her voice is a lot squeakier now, this must be close to her real voice
That was just too sweet
"Taco Bell is a way of life." -Soren, 2020
LUL this stream was amazing
*Man, the fact that she can casually transition from English to Japanese with no accent whatsoever is absolutely mesmerizing. I appreciate that.*
she does have accent tho
Her Japanese is terrible, what are you talking about
No accent change whatsoever? It's extremely obvious she's layering a Japanese accent when she speaks Japanese.
Working a service job is already hell, imagine doing that without knowing the language of the country. I'm surprised she kept such a positive attitude through all the entitled karens.
Man here voice is so much different now
Wow I didn't remember she used to talk differently.
Good to see this got revived in a clip. "Sorry sir we don't have appreciate it." We're out of appreciate it dayo
The art style on her is my favourite

Is like dark souls but faith skill

Is this the krusty krab? No, this is pikamee.

She's has a so great english comparative only with her charisma
I remember some girl who worked in Taco Bell who had sharp teeth who gave me my Crunchwrap Supreme and my drink of fryer grease back in Texas.
Did you appreciate it?
Suddenly I understand why, during the collab with Tungsten Rat, Pikamee just started throwing out the names of Mexican foods.
