Japanese English Versus Siri

Siri is not only miffed by Scottish English, it also doesn’t follow English spoken with a Japanese accent.

“Work” and “walk” are notoriously difficult for Japanese speakers — largely because the Japanese loan word for “work” is “waaku” (ワーク). Japanese people are used to saying “waaku” for “work”.

The gentlemen who recorded this video has a good accent and more patience than I.
