Pitch Accent

This one is difficult because in our native tongues, we don't think about phonetics and pitch. We acquire it as we grow older and speak our language naturally.
To learn another language is to be mindful of these things too, in addition to the vocab, grammar structures, etc.
Im really glad i now learned about ima. Ive been saying/reading it wrong all this time.

居間 with the rising tone sounds like "mom's sister/姨媽" in 広東語, while 今 with the falling tone has no particular meaning, it helps me hear and remember the difference.

I’ve realised that I probably should go back to these vids and watch it a couple of times in order to actually understand. But thank you so much Yuta, these pronunciation videos really helps! :))

I'm studying English literature and we constantly analyse the meter of poems which obviously includes stress and such so I understand what you mean easily but I find recognising the meter hard too so this is gonna need a lot of practise as well T^T

this is by far the hardest part about the japanese language

Gotta practice more with these pointers. Thank you!

I remember learning this one many years ago and I always though the dropping pitch was because rain falls down where as Candy picks you up. I could be totally wrong or it could just be my own personal mnemonic.

What about : ara ara
How is it pronounced
Is the pitch difference in each ara?

This part is difficult!

I just picked up your book, thanks for providing so much content for free.
