I always feel so awkward when speaking Japanese. I'm not pronouncing the words wrong, I'm just saying them with an American accent and it's honestly a turn off from continuing learning Japanese so thank you for this video! 🥰

Even though I've been studying Japanese for about three years, I wasn't aware of the thing about ふ's prununciation. Thanks for the tip.

No one:

Me: Searching on how to have a good accent on jappanese
Also me: Doesn't know japanese words

Her voice sounds different when she speaks japanese😄

@fen_350z 5 years ago

This is almost like accents with Spanish for some of the pronunciations

@low-key5512 5 years ago

I've noticed that as someone with a Slavic background, I have found the pronunciations of Japanese words much easier than some of my American or British friends

@davywavy1918 5 years ago

I notice Japanese and spanish have similarities in their vowels

@felipecabrera511 5 years ago

In my opinion the 'r' in らりるれろ is pretty much indistinguishable from the 'tt' and 'dd' in butter, letter, lettuce and ladder... or maybe it's because I'm a Spanish speaker

As a brazilian being fluent in english and almost fluent in japanese, one of the best things was that even though my native language structure is not even similar to japanese, we pronounce vowels and consonants in the same way. So when i was trying to sound more japanese and improve my accent it was more about sentence intonation etc. Nowadays one of the things im really pround of is my japanese accent. Btw, i've been studying japanese for 6 years. Reina, i rllly luv your content<333

As a linguistics student who studies Japanese, this video was kindly appreciated 😌

I start with some warmups while practicing pronunciation by saying

"Mama Mia, Papa-Pia, Baby's got the diarrhea"

She's vocally fluent. She's intelligent

「橋の端で箸を使う」is what I often use to teach my students about different pitch (p.s. I am a high school Japanese teacher)

"However when speaking in Japanese you don't really use the tip of your mouth or your teeth, you primarily keep your tongue in the center of your mouth and pretty much never touch your teeth with your tongue." Genius advice. Instant Japanese sound. I was doing this intuitively but when I watch other English language first trainers they said the complete opposite! Thank you!

Ga Gi Gu Ge Go Sounds like a baby xD No wonder why Japanese sounds so cute xD But it can sound badass too. 😍

This is probably some of the best linguistics lessons I’ve ever seen. The way you graph the sounds and enunciations and note that different emphasis means different words is flabbergasting. Honestly, most people try to teach Japanese but it seems like it’s towards a semi fluent Japanese audience. Idk anything so these videos are very helpful. Thank you so much. I’m breaking down languages and cultures one country at a time.
