In this video, we explore the Japanese words 玄人 (Kuro-to) and 素人 (Shiro-to), which can be confusing for new learners. Kuro-to means "expert" and is often mispronounced as "Gen Jin," while Shiro-to means "novice" or "foolish person" and can be mispronounced as "So-Bi-To." We also discuss the common mix-up between these words and 黒人 (Kokujin, "black person") and 白人 (Hakujin, "white person"), highlighting their distinct meanings and pronunciations. This video aims to clarify these terms and help learners understand their correct usage and pronunciation.
