Japanese Pronunciation

Bedankt voor de les/Thanks for the lesson, Yuta-sensei!

Greetings from the Netherlands 🙂

Clear and precise vid, however i have noticed that Hirigana does sometimes use consonants after each other such as tsu つ　 shi し　& chi　ち　yes they do have vowels after the second consonant but their is always a exceptions to rules, all the same they are very easy to pronounce, just one question I don't understand why nihongo doesn't have plural, how do you distinguish between one and many. thanks
kind regards 　

The video was Good?
Please keep uploading videos to me??

very useful video

Nice video it has few words But it really helps me a lot

Thanks, Yuta!

My native language is German and I speak English and a little bit of Italian, now I'm very excited to see how learning Japanese will be like.

Looking forward to future lessons!

Hi, Yuta! I'm usually a busy person and I've had to keep 2 months break from Japanese due to the hectic life. But I wanted to let you know at least once, I'm very thankful for your lessons and what you do, you've been a big help since I can't take a physical course at the moment. This was a nice video, I'm eagerly waiting for the next lesson.

It think the way Japanese people use vowels is rather clear when you look at the alphabet system, it has really helped me out. The pronunciation doesn't seem that hard, there are only some sounds which we don't have in Finnish, but taking letter-ignoring aside Japanese sounds are rather similar to ours.

I've been wondering about this small っ which is used to make double consonants. Since my name in Japanese is often written as エマ (ema) but it really is a double 'm' there in both; the original form and the Finnish pronunciation: is it possible to use っ there to make the 'm' double? I've heard it can't do with ん, which is understandable (since ん is alone unlike the other consonant alphabets,) but what about an 'm'? It would be nice if you could cover the usage in the upcoming lesson. 🙂 Also, if you have any suggestions/advises I'd like to hear about tips on learning kanji. Because I've been proven (also by my own experience) you can't do with only hiragana and katakana to read actual Japanese. You've got to learn all the three writing systems and what's so bad in that if you can still have fun with it? ^^

Thank you Yuta! In 6 months my son will be teaching English in Japan and I'd like to know at least a little Japanese before I go to visit. I already know it's going to be very difficult for me to learn but I'm hoping your videos will help.

Loved the short video. Thank you Yuta.

I'm currently wrapping my head around Hiragana, as I have a co-worker who speaks Japanese. I also appreciate you explaining the reason for "waifu" etc, as I never thought of how hard it must be for native Japanese speakers.

Again, all the best
