Lidicurous would probably be closer. I have many Japanese acquaintances and friends and have flirted with the idea of picking up a little Japanese, so as not to be so useless on a future trip to Japan. They can pronounce L’s and R’s just fine, but phonetically their words are broken up into 50 or 60 syllables and there are a lot of English words that don’t lend themselves to speech patterns using those same syllables. It’s complicated.
