    Coca-Cola was the first katakana I learned.

    コカコーラ for the uninitiated. (Ko ka ko (dash means elongated vowel here) la.)

      That’s awesome! I saw it printed on a t-shirt soon after arriving in Japan, and a few days later recognized it on a cafe menu and ordered it for the kids.

      So, it’s among the first things I learned too.
