Great show, as always guys. This one made me feel less guilty for reading so much more than listening for my immersion. I've always felt like it helps me the most, but there are just so many people giving advice saying that it will hurt in the long run.

[@KoreKaraPodcast]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Just an opinion on accent in general. I think if you can pronounce your Japanese evenly or フラット as the Japanese say - as opposed to stressing syllables like in English and many other languages, you’re already going to sound pretty natural. Especially compared to foreigners that don’t. I look at the pitch accent of words in my dictionary and I’m aware of it as a concept but I haven’t really put myself through the ringer to improve it and get it right. I think my Japanese sounds pretty good. Not Matt versus Japan but not bad.

[@j5679]

Sorry to break it to you but I listened to your video "Update and I take the iTalki Japanese Proficiency test (10 years of studying Japanese)" and you speak beginner level Japanese. Pronouncing every word with its correct pitch accent is absolutely indispensable for sounding natural, there's no quick hack around that.

[@paulwalther5237]

@@j5679 ouch. Ok well you may be right. The better your pitch accent the better you sound.

[@paulwalther5237]

When people say language learning isn’t about talent they’re wrong. This guy clearly has a receptive mind for languages. I’m sold on reading though - reading along with having conversations is the way to go. I may be wrong but I think visual novels have voice acting so you can listen to the Japanese text? I haven’t read one. That would be super helpful for students if that’s the case. Not having the kanji reading on the tip of your tongue is a real deal breaker for people trying to learn Japanese through reading. I spent about 7 years on Japanese so I’m trying to take his tips and use them for Korean.
