I've been able to convert my mother to a figure skate fan. I guess you don't need to ask whose programs did the trick ;)

She wrote his name down on a piece of paper and still reads from it when she asks for more videos from Yuzuru Hanyu :laugh:

That's so cute! :gclap: My mum has just mastered his name after a month of practice. Dad is still at "the Japanese guy" stage, though.

It's interesting to see which types of pronunciation problems can occur to different native speakers. I had a Japanese classmate who always struggled with German names like "Angera Merukeru" or "Düsserudorufu". It was hard not to chuckle - that was just cute :laugh:
Yuzuru Hanyu is not easy to pronounce, it sounds like a tongue twister because of those many "u"s :biggrin:

My parents have been speaking English for about 20 years and they can say 'r' and 'l' but can't say the 'v' sound yet.
 

And then, headed towards Worlds’, he was actually in the best form right now, the best he has ever been in the 5 years he’s been with us. Wasn’t sick, wasn’t injured. Really the best condition he has ever been! (t/n Brian really wanted to emphasize this)

I couldn't be any happier than this!! :yay: I really hope he'll stay healthy in this hard Olympic seaon!!
