they didn't put in hardly any pitch accent, i was trying to remember some pitch accent from these words and eventually noticed they almost always say it with the nakadaka pattern (pitch starts low, goes high, and drops off at the end of the word). honestly might be worse than telling people japanese intonation is flat because it just sounds really unnatural when put into a sentence

[@aress823]

"cook" 用意する youi suru is wrong, 料理する ryouri suru is correct

[@jpguthrie6669]

The words are all pronounced in dictionary form, which is not quite they way they sound in conversation. The "G" sounds are usually pronounced a little harder, if I were to day "this afternoon" it would be "kyou no gogo, with the second g pronounced more strongly. On the other hand, the months "hachi-gatsu," the "u" sound is often omitted, and sounds like "hachi-gats." My Japanese is not all that great, but after living in Japan for many years, my pronunciation is pretty good.

[@GeorgePenton-np9rh]

That's what I remember too.

[@gallicia4613]

It depends on the dialect. This is the standard pronunciation of Kanto dialect which is what people should learn as a basic, as it is standard Japanese.

[@ぷっちょ-g7m]

1:28 これおかしくね？ペットに聞こえる。 ビールもヒールに聞こえるし笑 4:53 is also not correct. cook is ”料理する(ryorisuru)”. ”用意する” means prepare.

You guys, reading in characters will help you pronounce things better. Reading in Romaji will only make you put more stress on to a syllable and pronounce it totally wrong. Note that katakana is basically used/written for native words that weren't origanally in the japanese language. Sorry for my spelling mistakes. Also, the colours can be said and types without the i at the end.
