I don't know why/when the topic of pitch accent became such a controversy in the Japanese language learning community.. It is clearly an important part of the language and I think it is necessary if your goal is to be able to speak in a natural, native-like way. I'm still a beginner and have a lot more to learn to become fluent, but when I travel to Japan, I want to be able to converse with people with as little "American accent" as possible. It seems easier to learn a new language the correct way, rather than learn all the vocabulary and grammar and then have to go back and re-learn the authentic way to speak and use it.. This is why I signed up for Fumi-Sensei's online course long ago and I haven't looked back since. ふみ先生、正しい発音を教えてくれてありがとうございます！

Thank you, rich-san, for always supporting me!! Right, I wonder why it's a controversy 😅 So I had to say it. For my course, I remember you differentiate びょういん and びよういん beautifully after watching the video "The Rhythm of びゃびゅびょ and the Other Contracted Sound" uploaded there. I was happy to know that my video worked, with your effort😊 これからもよろしくお願いします✨

It took me a while and had to use a dictionary, but here is a haiku I wrote thinking about how it has felt with you as my 先生 on my Japanese learning journey: 感謝の葉学びの庭に咲く花よ It's a bit poetic and cheesy, but was hard to find words that fit with the 5-7-5 pattern. :)

English is an amalgamation of words from multiple languages which makes it a nightmare to learn. At least in Japanese, vowels are pronounced the same in every word, unlike in English, where it depends on the historical origin of the particular word as well as the regional dialect...

@anggarapangestu152 4 ай бұрын

Very agree with you. I'm not raised in an English speaking country so I know the hurdles and difficulties in learning the language. Even though I learn English since elementary school, it is still difficult for me to catch up in a conversation with a native speaker. It is not enough just to learn the vocabulary and the grammar, so I decided to learn more about the pronunciation. Right after that, I'm getting better in catching up with native speaker, and the good thing is now I can spot whether the speaker is a native or not by just listening from the accent. Right now I have been learning Japanese for 1 year and from my experience by learning the accent it boosts my learning rate. Also, as Fumi 先生 said by learning the accent we can be more authentic in the language.

Pitch accent makes Japanese easier, not harder, to understand. Japanese has relatively few distinct phonemes, as compared to English. Sentences would be highly ambiguous without pitch accent clues.

Hey, I was just wondering if you could help me with a cultural question I had about Japan? When I was on Shikoku doing part of the Shikoku Ohenro, many of the shingon temples had stone-posts lining the walkways and entrances with what looked like dates or numbers on them. I remember a Monk telling me they were memories or markings of donations to the temple, but I cannot remember if this is true? Do you know?

@SpeakJapaneseNaturally 4 ай бұрын

Hi, Jack-san, Oh, no, we don't use 5-7-5 rhythm when we speak. What I wanted to say in this video was that all hiragana have the same lengths(have one mora each) because English speakers' small tsu and long vowels are sometimes too short. I should have pointed out to make that point clear.😅

Hi, Janet-san, my kanji for ふみ is 史, history. For girls, it's also common for girls to have the kanji 文 in their names😊 When there are 8 instead of 7 mora, if が or は is included, you can drop it, but in this case, there's no way to make it 7. So we just have to leave it as it is.

May I please ask why 蛍 is sometimes written using katakana, ホタル and sometimes as hiragana, ほたる?

@SpeakJapaneseNaturally 4 ай бұрын

Hi, Helza-san, That's a good question! In scientific terms, the names of bugs are written in katakana. But for individual use, which one to use depends on the person. For me, I'd use 蛍 when I write a poem, but when I explain something, I might use ホタル because hiragana ほたる makes it difficult for readers to understand since hiragana doesn’t stand out among other hiragana. In the video, when I make viewers count mora, I used ほたる because I used hiragana for other kanji too. So it depends on the situation, and oftentimes, there's no clear explanation but individual preference.
