I am Spanish myself, although I'm pretty good at english, and I really think that japanese sounds similar to my language. I hope I can graduate from secondary beeing able to speak a little bit of japanese, as I only have one and a half year until it, And I think this is going to be a big help!

I want to learn japanese but videos are english, I can understand but sometimes I hear words I do not know.
I hope I can write it right.

I think having the pronunciation sound more natural is going to be easier for me, since my native language is german, and the german vowels sound exactly the same as in japanese.

I already knew about the example of the u being silent with 'desu', but it was nice to hear the explanation from a naitve japanese spakers still 🙂

I'd just be curious about why exactly the u is becoming silent in many cases, in words with 'su' or 'tsu' in them. But this is just my first lesson so maybe you'll explain that in a later one.

Hi Yuta! I want to learn Japanese but I'm not an English speaker, I can understand what you say but I'd like that you add captions or tutorials for Spanish speakers… Please.

You also had a very good example in the last one, in "Genki desu" you have n followed by a k, the consonant is always followed by a vowel is something you can learn just by looking at the alphabet you have the vowels : a, e, i, o & u and the rest are just consonants + vowels with exception the n which can be alone thus nk from genki or np from senpai are possible.

I know just watching any form of media like anime doesn't make you good at the language just cause you understand a few words if so I would know two other languages other then english but I know my wording of the Japanese's language is better than my native language of spanish which is quite sad

Hi! I am very excited for these lessons (it is soooo hard to find good, free resources for JP online) and I was wondering if you will be covering pitch accent in the pronunciation videos? It is a topic that holds interest for me (I am studying linguistics) and also seems useful in developing a good accent in Japanese.
