Yeah man I never got that at all... asian languages are all about pronunciation... the wrong enflection on the same word can mean totally different things...

My brother took chinese at one point and apparently hospital and umbrella are damn near identical.

And same goes for not understanding why asians don't pronounce engrish wolds collectry... lol.

If all the R's sound like L's and the L's like R's why not just switch them... that's an odd occurance if you ask me.

My dad does TONS and TONS of business with japanesse folks... this one dude was over talking about his college years in the US and he had these GREAT Lead Pants..... It took me like 15 times of hearing it and then him pronouncing another R as L to figure out he meant RED Pants... lol.
