ガソリンスタンド "Gasolinstand"

There are many Japanese words that sounds English but it is not English words.
Gasolinstand is Japanese word meaning Gas Station.  Problem with Japanese words
that are made of/sounds English to kids learning English in Japan is that it is
quite confusing. In Japan, words that come from English are written in particular
style of writing called Katakana but not all Katakana words are from English.
Katankana words come from foreign words or Japanese words that sound like
foriegn words.  For example, color pink would be pi n ku in Japanese. Tomato
would be to ma to. So children assume that words such as Gasolinstand would
be appropriate words if pronounced with English sounding accent.
