Katakana

    Some words I found were テレビ for TV, スマホ for Smartphone, パン for Bread (from Portuguese pão), and アルバイト for Part-time job (from German Arbeit). These words are all loanwords. Something interesting I learned is that katakana words don't only represent English foreign words. Although Sensei Kawamura mentioned how katakana is used to represent foreign words, it never really registered in my head that this included foreign languages other than English. I find it cool how one style of writing can represent a diverse range of languages. I also included a picture of the Japanese milk bread because I love bread and hope to try it one day.
