[@chingylearnjapanese]

Your Japanese accent is great! I wasn’t aware of the different pitch accent for compound words! Thanks for explaining!

[@ebifried]

[@jonb4331]

As you may know I've been watching your vids. Thank you for inspiring me to care about focusing on pitch accent! I do plan to move to Japan so it would be helpful to be understood and sound less like a foreigner that they use english to respond back hahaha (I think dogen did a skit about an employee responding in English after using Japanese tho the context was diff). Anyway cheers 🎉!

[@ebifried]

dogen was the one that even taught me about the concept! thanks for watching and commenting 😄

This was super helpful! I’ve been studying Japanese for years but the accent part especially was a key new learning!

[@Yuri.Chavez]

So professional! Hope studies are going well for you 🤍

[@ebifried]

I have been pondering using iTalki for just normal conversation which I feel its where I'm still a bit stiff... Not sure how it would be for that use case

[@ebifried]

for sure! i use italki for everything, not just conversation and pronunciation :) it took a while to find the teachers i regularly go to, (i have 21 in my history lmao) but i highly encourage it, super worth it once you find a teacher that clicks with your learning style! you also get 3 very affordable trial lessons (and that $5 off link) so its def worth checking it out :D

I’ve been mimicking speech since I started speaking at 4 . Speaking is difficult for me with autism but reading is easier

[@ebifried]

oh wowww even though it’s more difficult for you, you’ve been doing it right since so young! 🥹

[@meso5791]

Thanks, keep it going xd

We will send you a microphone support, it was a little awkward seeing the mic covering your face , hands free is the future , I hope you enjoy the gift .
