Lost in Translation

 おかし!!!
Learning how to translate phrases from English to Japanese, I have realized the big difference between the English and Japanese grammatical structures. This reminded me of some Japanese signs I saw in Japan, with poorly translated English. Even though they are really funny, I can see how easy this could be to mess up. I hope I don't mess up my translations as much as they do!

    Those signs are pretty funny! You'd think they'd get someone to look it over and make sure they made sense (or maybe they thought it did make sense). Anyway, if you like funny mistranslations, try putting some Japanese sentences you've written through Google translate, that's usually good for a few laughs!
