マラソン	marathon	jogging/long distance race
Please use "marathon" only when you run 42.195 km. Personally I do't like them to call a 5k race as "xx city marathon" in Japan. You know it is much harder to finish 42km.

In Olympic in Nagano most of speed skaters used this new type of skate shoes. "Klap" is a Dutch word for "slap" in English. ("Klapschaats" in Dutch) I don't understand why Japanese use "slap", which is not Japanese of cource, while "klap" is used in English.

フライドポテト	fried potato	French fries

This is about a style of restaurants. Because Japanese people pronounce it as "biking", the confusion is sometimes big.
ホットケーキ	hotcake	pancake
"Hotcake" is used but "pancake" seems to be more popular.
プリン	pudding	caramel cream/caramel custared
Pudding in Japan is a kind of pudding. But because there are various puddings here, it is hard to order in restaurants unless you know the exact name.
アメリカンコーヒー	American coffee	weak coffee
Coffee served in the US is usually as weak as "American coffee" in Japan. I know a restaurant where they give us a choice of "French" or "American". French one is strong as regular one in Japan. At Starbucks Coffee they sell "cafe Americano, " though it is made of espresso and hot water.
