Two Chinese words you do not want to confuse (trust me):
ๅบ่ฝจ | ๅบ่ป chลซguว - to be derailed; to go off the rails / to overstep the bounds / to have an extramarital affair
ๅบๆ | ๅบๆซ chลซguรฌ - to come out of the closet; to reveal one's sexual orientation
I often confuse these two, so if I read about a celebrity cheating scandal, there's a 50% chance I'm accidentally going to say said celeb came out of the closet instead.

Banned hiragana from Japanese license plates and why
Most Japanese license plates have a hiragana on them, but some are banned
ใ (o) - looks similar to ใ (a)
ใ(wo) - pronounced the same way as ใ(o)
ใ(shi) - the character for death (ๆญป) is also pronounced shi
ใธ(he) - there is another character pronounced the same way (ๅฑ) and it means fart
ใ (n) - cause it is hard to pronounce on its own

Comparing Chinese character readings in Japanese & Korean pt 1
Fact : Japanese and Korean have a lot of words from Chinese. Because of this there is a lot of words that sound the same or similar. Also this plus the grammar being the same is the reason why Korean is the easiest to learn for Japanese people and vice versa.

*please note when someone asks you how many siblings you have, you must also count yourself for example - you have two older brothers and then there's you, in English you would say "I have two siblings." In Japanese the question is closer to " How many siblings are in your family?" So you count yourself and say "three siblings"ใ(ใไบบๅ
