Joshua probably recognized Fritti from Fritters, which is anything battered and deep fried. Ragu obvi from the american branded pasta sauce, based off authentic italian ragu. Not to mention greek, latin, italian, and anglosaxon's old english is the origin languages of both modern english and spanish. As modern english words have a lot of latin roots, as well as suffixes and prefixes while spanish shares a lot of phonological and phonetic features with greek that contribute to a similarity in pronunciation. the History of Language Evolution is so interesting, especially since the Roman Empire (which primarily spoke latin before it evolved into italian, and latin became a dead language) conquered so many cultures causing the languages to merge thus forming our modern tongues.

It is very interesting the way the Korean language approximates foreign words. In Korean there is no real sound for the letter "F" so they substitute the "Pi" sound. The word for Florence in Italian is Firenze (fee-REN-tseh) which in Hangul is 피렌체 which when you sound it out sounds like pilenche (Pee, Len, Shay). A lot of "Konglish" is made up of English words spoken with Hangul pronunciation. (Or , in this case, Italian word translated to Hangul)
