They use a lot of words that are just the English word with an engrish accent. It’s pretty nice if you’re an English speaker actually

The Japanese word for PC is pasokon (ぱそこん), which is short for pasono konpyutaa (パソのこんぴゅたー)

Learning Japanese if you don’t already know English probably makes it like 10x harder huh

French and Portuguese too!
