I speak Japanese and Spanish - when I went to Japan with my Mexican wife, she asked how to say "bread" in Japanese and I said "pan" and she said, "honey, you're mixing up your Japanese and your Spanish, that's the Spanish word for bread".



Always loved that simple joke from Takahashi: "Pan da panda"... (Depicting the bread holding aloof panda.)


Japanese comedy excels at these very bad jokes.


Having gone through half a century of Japanese period, Taiwan also calls bread "pan".
