in Japanese Pronunciation Gone Wrong on Omar Eduardo's Blog
I saw that Koichi is starting to do vids on EduFire. From what I've seen of his stuff on YouTube, he seems really good.
I think my two biggest pet peeves are people that mispronounce "karaoke" and "sake". One of my American co-workers asked a friend if she wanted to go out and do "care-ee-oh-key" once, and she had no idea what he was talking about.

And yeah, karaoke and sake are two very common ones... also people that pick up japanese from anime often pronounce kawaii [is cute] as kowaii [is scary] which makes it particularly funny.
