วีดีโอ

do you know of a japan comic skit who makes fun of accents? Example in Saturday Night Live ; they do "The Californians".. I used to watch many o warai's in Japan typically stuff like とんねるず and めちゃ²イケ...

Can you make a video about counting accents? I always heard the difference between them "十三"や"十四"や"十五"や"四十"や"五十"... "一時"や"一時間"..."九円"や"十円"...but didn't know the rules about their accents. I have not seen anyone working on the accent of counting even though it is used a lot in everyday life. especially counting money. Thanks a lot.

What a funny lady ☺

i have a wonder what different between か and が

Thank you, again, I hope you will soon have a video on the pitch accent of -NA adjectives. Enjoy the week.

Once again, a great video. You are doing a great service by tackling pitch accent following suffixes/particles/tag words, and the like. The topic is quite complex, and it validates the fact that mastery of Japanese pitch accent is much more intricate than the rules of pronunciation in Chinese and Korean, even though there are indeed some difficult aspects in these languages as well. On another note, how do -NA adjectives operate under pitch accent? Compare 大きい　vs. 大きな whereby the latter form with -NA is atamadaka style (retracting pitch accent) when compared to 大きい which has kifuku style (nakadaka).

I was going to begin giving you some slightly more natural english at around 7:20 but I'm realizing it's very complicated to explain. I'm going to try anyway 7:22 "she has a great way of singing" sounds natural. some alternatives that I think are also natural is "her way of singing is great", changing the subject from the girl to the singing, and "The way she sings is great", taking notice that if you were watching footage of a dead singer you'd change that structure to "the way she sang was great" 7:28 "The way of singing is really great" Sounds unnatural. I think natives will tend to use a possessive for 'way of' so "her way of speaking", "his way of writing", "their way of working", "it's way of breaking" etc.. 7:34 "it's a great way of singing" sounds unnatural. The natural structure will be "It's a great way to sing". the verb tends to become infinitive when we're talking about a general usage of the verb instead of a specific person or object. examples: "That's no way to live", "I read this article online. It's about different ways to cook a steak" sometimes the alternative structure still sounds natural though. "We've got a food diary on our fridge. It's a great way of making sure we stay honest about our diet." "We've got a food diary on our fridge. It's a great way to make sure we stay honest about our diet." these both sound totally natural. I don't know how to explain when it doesn't other than speaking the language for my whole life :( sorry 7:43 "You have a funny way of dancing" I didn't think this sounded too unnatural until I showed my mom and she pointed out some ways most people would say it. We think the most natural options are "the way you dance is funny" and even just "you dance funny" << some words just somehow get away with breaking english rules. you shouldn't use an adjective directly after a verb like this so the "real" english is "you dance funnily" but sounds completely unnatural. I think some dictionaries consider funny an adverb anyway, albeit informally. 8:14 "The way of speaking proves it's a fraud" is unnatural. once again I want to give 'the way' to some person or object. "Her way of speaking", "The way she speaks", I hope that makes sense. I think in english we just tend to demand that an entity remains visible in the sentence at almost every moment even when context keeps it obvious. I see the cult leader on screen, we're talking about her, and even then the sentence "The way of speaking proves it's a fraud" makes my subconscious english brain go "Whose way of speaking? We should clarify in the sentence structure that we're talking about 'her way'". I hope any of my ramblings proved at all useful and I want to clarify that your english is completely grammatically correct if only unnatural at times.

Thank you again! This was helpful! お疲れ様です！✨👏✨👏✨👏

You are not only a great teacher, but you are charming and a very good actor! The characters you created were great! Your kimono is beautiful. Thank you for creating truly helpful videos that teach in such a clear and fun way! Please know your hard work is helping students learn every day! Thank you so much!

Dear Reacher good morning Very nice BUT Very small letters not visible prooy Please increase font. Asrao Hyderabad South India

Cant you start teaching in tiktok?

Great video. Thanks a lot. すみませんですが"鼻の"と"花の"の読み方は"は/なの"ですか？同じですか？外に日本の読み方は中高型+の="に/ほんの"です.に/ほ\んのじゃありません.どうしてですか？これは特別な場合だけですか？どうもすみません

it's strange that I often don't even remember that the word has long vowel. I know that 表情 is facial expression, and if someone says it, I know its meaning. However, when I try to type it, I don't remember if it's hyojo, hyoujou or hiyojo...

I sometimes pronounce が as んが unconsciously whenever in lower pitch to save a breath I don't know why, but i've heard alot of movie and anime character pronounce that

文章レベルのイントネーションの動画をもっと作ってくださると大変嬉しく存じます

いつもありがとうございます！

Thanks for the clear teaching of Dakuon

Thank you so much!

Thank you :)

ものすごいね！

「この間」と言う言葉ですが、意味によって平板型になる場合がありますか？例えば「前の時」の意味だと尾高型、「今何かをしていることの間」の意味だと平板型みたいな？

happy you're still making these videos! Me and my friend are just starting to learn japanese together and we need all the help we can get!

I love your videos!!! 😭😭

Thank you for the visual (line with dots) of how the pitch tracks differently between the two words. It's not just useful for our own pronounciation. It helps a lot to train the ears to parse the difference hearing *others* speak the words we're practicing when we can follow along with our eyes (which of course does circle back around to helping us speak more clearly and correctly ourselves, lol). I wish so much that more language teachers/tutors did that simple trick!

動画作ってありがとう😭私と日本人の友達とこのチャネルを見つけちゃって、彼は「これ!勉強したほうがいいと思うよ!」と言われましたよ😂私として、日本語を喋る時に、色々な悪いくせがあってさ😭最初には、話し方は性格ってと考えてたが、ただ間違ったんです😔😭それの考えのせいで、ピッチはすーーーごく違ってきました😭文法も😭これから、先生動画を沢山観るつもりですよ! ありがとうございます! お疲れ様です! (片言の日本語をお許しください🙇独学したのに😭不器用に喋ってますよ😭)

I will keep practicing and come back to this video in a year wwwww

love your characters! Cheers from Ohio

どうもありがとうございます

When I am learning Pitch accent its like learning to speak for the first time heheh Because that is what it sounds like. My Native Tongue is Thai. Second Language is English and now Japanese is gonna be my third.

I only discovered this channel yesterday. Today on my break I saw this video and had to decide whether I would watch it and study my Japanese, or watch something that is fun and relaxing. I decided to watch this video, and I ended up learning AND having so much fun. I laughed so much! Thank you for your hard work!

Japanese may think that Japanese language has no stress or "konnichiha" is pronounced in a flat way, but when for speakers languages it is OBVIOUS that it is neither "konNIchiwa" nor "konniCHI" nor "konnichiWA" but "KONnichiwa". "pitch" is just a marketing tool.
