Abunai! Break time!
On a totally random note, Japanese has fewer consonant sounds than English, and Japanese speakers learning English often cannot distinguish between the "L" and "R" sounds or the "B" and "V" sounds. Therefore, the English words, "love" and "rub", would sound the same to the Japanese. If you'd like to learn more about Japanese, browse section 495.6 on the second floor of the library.
