Fun fact: the word "yo" (used as an intensifier) has overlapping uses in English and Japanese. For example, the sentence "Let's go, yo!" would be "Ikou, yo!"

Japanese also has quite a few borrow-words/loan-words from English too.

You can have some really English-sounding Japanese: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW4AiEqKGto lol
