- Would you like to improve how you sound when speaking in Japanese?
For natural speech, knowing about Japanese phonetics will be helpful. In my course, you'll learn about Japanese phonetics, such as pronunciation, rhythm, pitch accent, intonation, and so on. This knowledge will help you sound natural when speaking Japanese.
Here's the link to my subscription course. I'd love to have you in my course!

Finally , the lesson I needed the most. English is not my first language. I live in Europe. But I learned Japanese, the same way. To translate japanese sentences from the ending. And it was hard and a little bit confusing. So I always wanted to not just to translate but also to understand the meaning of a sentence the right way, like you showed us here. So thank you for this! 😊
Andreea Doria-san,
I'm glad to hear that this video's concept matches your needs.
Understanding the meaning right away will get easier when you get used to doing it. 😄
I already did. Just by watching this lesson. It happened so fast that I almost got emotional. 😌
Thank you. I love the tone of your voice, and the music in your vlogs. It makes it a great option to watch right after waking up. Very peaceful
As a linguistics student, the way you explain Japanese grammar etc is very intuitive and truly effective for learning.
I'm very glad to hear that. Thank you!😊
Fumi Sensei, Thank you for introducing this method of reading and speaking. I have been using this over the past week and it really helps!
Damn bro your rich af
リッチさん、いつもありがとうございます！感謝しています。
I’m glad it’s helpful!! 😊✨
You have a very pleasant calm voice, very nice to listen to🙂
ふみ先生、ありがとうございます! This was a great review for word order and it taught me a lot about reading/listening in Japanese! I guess I had been translating backward without even realizing I was doing it. Thank you for teaching me a lot about Japanese!
This is one of the most helpful lessons I've ever seen! Thank you!
Glad to hear that. Thank you 😊😊
The word order in Turkish is similar to the word order of Japanese. But being native, I don’t really realize how I parse Turkish, so it still is very helpful to have some hints on how to break down sentences; even more helpful to know how that can naturally relate to the intonation when speaking, both aloud and internally. ありがとうございました、ふみ先生！
I’m glad to know that the intonation part was helpful too because I was wondering how many people actually watch until that part😅
I like your outfit color, it look good on you.
こんにちは。
もう一つのレッスンをありがとう。
Fumiさん、お疲れさまでした。👏😃👋
フィルさん、ありがとうございます！
I love this color and I have four outfits in this color😅
J'ai découvert votre chaîne hier, et je suis si heureuse ! C'est pour moi la meilleure chaîne pour apprendre le japonais. Merci beaucoup beaucoup !
This helped me SO MUCH.
This is really an amazing method, ありがとうございます sensei!
9:39 Oh! This is the best explanation I've seen about pitch and intonation. I feel like it'll change the way I listen to japanese, and in a good way :)
ありがとうございました❤
❤love your lesson.
ありがとうございます！
Thank you for the clarification ❤
Just came across your work, splendid breakdown Fumi-san. I have subscribed. Thank you.
I dearly wish my Japanese teacher had taught me this method 30 years ago. Syntax and language chunking should have been taught explicitly like this to demystify it. Unfortunately at the time, in the 1980s and 1990s, the natural acquisition method was all the rage and it was just assumed the learner would eventually pick it up by osmosis. Well, to a certain extent you can, but it's much quicker and more efficient to have it highlighted from the outset so you can get on with the process of noticing by yourself.
So true!
Implicit learning is the more pain free way to go but some explicit input can really speed things up.
Moving forward, I intend to apply Fumi sensei's parsing method even during listening practice.
I'm so glad that you found this video valuable. I was a little afraid that this method might be kind of a 'normal' thing to do, but I guess not.
❤Thanks for unlocking this theme too. 선생님! Generally not teaching this type of (kind of)when to use space bar but you are teaching through TH-cam video and you know i feel similarlity many times with Korean e.g. Particles(wa: 는 mo: 도 no: 의 ni: 를 etc.) Although shy but i once written my thought. 💌I'm interested in japanese so i decided becoming one of subscribers. * I hope i step someday your course.* 💙Kimeura fumi sensei, Please have a good June's 1st weekend!🌸.
Very insightful content! ❤Thank you sensei!
My pleasure!😊
Greetings from Venezuela, South America. 🇻🇪🖐️
This is a great concept for a lesson! I'm a fairly new learner, and while I feel I'm getting pretty good at parsing while reading, it's really hard to keep up with listening. This kind of video is perfect. Thank you!
Glad to hear that. Thank you😊
This was a fantastic video, Fumi. Thank you. 興味深いです。
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it😊😊
This was very helpful. Thank you.
My pleasure!😊
Thanks! This has greatly helped me improve my listening skills! 方法を教えてくださてありがとうございます！
Thank you for your support! It really motivates me😊🙌
すごい！ありがとうございます！
どういたしまして😊
thank you, helped me a lot
😊🙌
Me gusta mucho, como enseñas😊
どもうありがとうございます。So well done and helpful. 🤗🙏💗 Thank You.
Thank you!!😊
You know, as Japanese people learn English, it is indeed backward for Americans to learn 日本語 like Japanese pay back to Americans lol . 実際に、順序が逆に変わった。
そして、日本語の漢字が難しいです。

Thank you so much! This lesson really helps a lot! Iro iro arigato gozaimasu.
Thank you!!😊
For a person who is learning Japanese using English learning about your video helped me. Subconsciously I was doing it myself, but knowing about it will definitely help me not to get lost while following some exercises. Anyway, you explain very well!
Thank you!!😊
Interesting and easy to follow lesson. Arigato-o gozaimasu.
My pleasure!!😊🙌
Your voice is so nice🙂People who are starting to learn Japanese can understand.
Thank you!!😊
Fumi 先生、ありがとうございました。このレッスンはとても面白かったです。I am a native Spanish speaker, but the word order is similar to English, so we have the same problem. Recently I was trying to translate Japanese phrases during the speech, but it happened that I had to wait until the end to make sense of it, and that was making it very difficult for me. Thank you very much for this lesson.
I’m glad this lesson is helpful for you! 一緒にがんばりましょう！😁👍
I like to think of everything between the subject of the sentence and the main predicate as sort of like setting the scene for the action that main predicate describes.
Right! In Japanese you explain the setting, things around you first and, in English you start with people and what they do. Perspectives are different, which is so interesting 😁
Thank you ❤ I love you 😘
Oh, thank you 😊😊
Arigatou sensei! More videos pls! Gb
Sure😊
I love you Fumi!
Oh, thank you!!
Its fun you explain it in the same manner I use to grasp meaning of Korean sentences.
Japanese word order and Korean word order are almost the same😊
Since Korean is very similar with Japanese in grammatical order and word itself it is easier to translate at the same time, simultaneous interpretation where European languages we have to wait until whole sentence is completed.
I am Korean, born and raised in Korea although I speak English everyday in Canada it is much easier for me to learn Japanese.
To understand Kanji, 漢字 is another advantage for Korean, particularly those age who learn Kanji at school in 50's or 60's.
Hi, David Kim-san, I’m a beginner learner of Korean and is always amazed how Korean is similar to Japanese! Korean is much easier to learn than English. You mentioned Kanji, even though they don’t use kanji anymore, Hanja words are helpful!
But still, it’s hard to acquire a new language 😅
A really useful video! I've been really struggling to learn how to "think" in Japanese because of this exact issue. It's really helpful to learn how to parse the sentences and information given. I would love to see more coverage for this particular issue, as it is perhaps the biggest thing holding me back in my Japanese studies. Something else that I think should be addressed is how to process relative clauses, too. For example sentences like: 英語で話す人には日本語を話せるだけ人と友達作ることがすごく難しい。or 風の吹く場所ではあの人たちが壊れた階段下った。(I don't know if my examples are actually correct, but I think it gets the main point across for what I mean.) Or even more advanced sentences than that that get really long. How do you parse what is a relative clause and what is the main sentence when you hear it in spoken form?
Oh and something else I've been struggling with and would love to see a proper explanation for are words like 範囲 and 難易 vs はに and 何（なに）vs はん and なん. I find these to be really difficult to pronounce, not just because of the mora, but also because of the devoiced "い” sound that seems to be there.
Thank you for your suggestions!
I can’t promise but I’ll think about them😊😊
I can really see that, sensei. As I read the English subtitles while watching anime or Japanese programming, the sentence structures for both languages truly are backwards lol.
Also, It's been awhile since you did a video in English. 😅 I hope you'll do more Eigo videos. 😊
GK-san,
It's kind of funny that both English speakers and Japanese speakers think that the other is backwards!😂
I'll do more Eigo videos if this one gets enough attention😄
thank you so much!!! wonderful and easy-to-follow explanations!! 😊❤
(i went to click subscribe, but i saw i was already subscribed!…oops!)
😂😂
Amazingly useful lesson, ありがとうございます、先生！As a matter of interest, is the way you parse sentences also an indication of how you should be speaking it too? So the slashes are almost like mini pauses?
That's the point.
If you speak faster, you won't pause at all the slashes I added.😊
Amazing video :) I think Japanese will be easy for me because in Amharic we have the same (more or less) structure.
ትናንትና ጓደኛ ጋር ካፌ ውስጥ ለ2 ሰዓት ጃፓንኛ ተማርኩ።
ትናንትና (yesterday) ጓደኛ (friend) ጋር (with) ካፌ (café) ውስጥ (in, inside) ለ (for) 2 ሰዓት (hour, hours) ጃፓንኛ (Japanese) ተማርኩ (I learned, studied)።
Hi, I didn’t know anything about Amharic!
I’m glad to know that its sentence structure is the same as Japanese!
Thank you for sharing this interesting information!!😊
Tu tens uma voz suave.
❤❤😅❤❤THANKS 😇 Merci Mme❤❤❤
My pleasure! 😄
Please make more video on intonation because there are not a lot of video covering this topic.
Sure, I will😊
こんばんは、ふみ先生。
Your videos have been incredibly helpful as I've recently started to learn Japanese on my own! I'm a little confused, though, when listening to your reading of the second practice sentence.
When you say 昨日は暑すぎたので it is hard for me to hear the "atsu" and the "sugi" separately; as though the す isnt being pronounced, and instead sounds more like "a-tsu-gi" (暑ぎ), not "atsu" and "sugi" (暑すき).
Does the す become devoiced when it's being read next to a word like 暑？
Arigatou gozaimasu sensei😊🇯🇵🤗❤
Douitashimashite!😊
モスクワからこんにちは 🖐
レッスンありがとうございました 🙏
I watch your videos regularly. You have an unique manner and a pleasant voice.
Do you think it’s realistic to learn a language by translating your favorite movie word by word or will it all be forgotten right away?
Slava Rakov-san,
Thank you for watching my videos!
I believe that when emotions are involved, you remember things better. So if you love a movie so much that you want to translate it, it will definitely help you learn!😄
日本語がすごいですね。
ふみサン、癒されます。ありがとうございます。
癒されましたか！ よかったです😊
僕は、日本語を独学してきましたが、この映像を見ると役に立ちます。 This is a really good you tube channel for 日本語勉強! 文美? 先生、ありがとう。 漢字の発音か難しいですね。例えば、in 文祿慶長の役, 役 sounds eki, but in 見ると役に立ちます, it sounds yaku… 僕の質問は、Any easy ways to tell?? And why different sound????? Thank you
あれ、髪か濡れてやろうけど、雨が降りですか? is the same meaning? Correct?
If it's a name of a war, like 文祿慶長の役, it's read as えき, but most of the times, when 役 is used alone, it's read as やく.
No, the sentence isn't correct.
Practice 3 では、「髪がめれてるけど雨降ってる？」を訳してもいいですか:
Since your hair is wet, is it raining?
Also, the translation of ちゃった to "got ____" is very intuitive 👏
I think it's okay😊
1 month before JLPT be like😂 hope this helps me with my reading😂
I'm curious why the "ten" punctuation was placed after "Kinou watashi wa," and not "Kinou, watashi wa" as a translation of the example of Yesterday, I...
This reminds me of how I used to use sentence diagramming as a student of English. It's how I started studying other languages, including Japanese, form the start. It's the only logical way.
You know, even in schools here in the US, they used to teach English sentence diagramming. Sadly, this has fallen out of use, because they wanted to try different, "progressive", methods. Unfortunately, these "progressive" methods were effectively "regressive". Now many English speakers have difficulty understanding parts of speech in their own native tongue. This makes it much harder to learn another language. I'm a middle-aged lady high school science teacher, but I was fortunate to have had a wonderful set of older teachers to teach me the correct way.
I myself haven't learned about sentence diagramming, but I have learned to see how sentences are structured. I'm sure it's important to understand parts of speech, especially when it comes to reading complicated sentences.
Basically speaking, Japanese is a Subject-Object-Verb language, adjectives and adverbs come before nouns and verbs modified by them, and dependent clauses come before main clauses.
English has prepositions, but Japanese has _post_ positions.
Thank you for sharing!
❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
😆😆✨
Fumi先生:
Is it more natural to say 「日本語の勉強をしました」rather than 「日本語を勉強しました」?
The latter might a little bit more natural, but both of them are natural. 😊
ありがとうございます！
Why would the のparticle come between japanese and studied instead of を？
の serves as a noun modifer in this context making it a compound noun. In this case の and を can be used more less interchangably. However, 日本語の勉強 by itself is a compound noun meaning "Japanese language study" whereas 日本語を勉強する means "to study Japanese (language)". So the only real difference is that 日本語を勉強する uses two nouns whearas 日本語の勉強する uses one compound noun to convey the same thing
Your English intonation is (linguistically speaking) seductive. This video is exactly what I needed. Thankyou. I had been intuitively feeling down this path. BTW..it's "introduce to you"...just about every Japanese teacher makes the same mistake of omitting the "to"
Thank you so much!! I had misunderstood the usage of "introduce" all my life😅
Is it grammatically correct to write 2時間 without any particle after it?
How and why?
２時間 means "for two hours" by itself in this sentence😊
Is teaching english a good job with a good salary for foreigners.
I often hear English teachers' salary is not that good.
I think teacher doesn't need to teach in English
It might much better teach in Japanese coz it is not difficult even you teach in Japanese
And I am sure it is much helpful for leaners to be exposed more Japanese.
Can I say 日本語を勉強しました instead of 日本語の勉強をしました ?
Sure, you can!😊
❤👍🌹🍑🍨
I love how you actually do your best to have a natural accent in english when you speak, instead of having a japanese accent. nothing wrong either way, I just wanted to appreciate your effort, Fumi-sensei 😊
Thank you!😊😊
Feels like Duolingo LOL
this is how my teacher is teaching me. she said gaijin don't really learn this way but I am smart so I will know it. So I have to find a video to study so she doesn't know i have only one brain cell 😂😭
Japanese is already one of the most difficult language and pitch accent is also there i hate pitch accent honestly just over complicating a already difficult language
