i've always thought the kansai dialect was super cute! it's so easygoing and sing-songy. hiroshima dialect gives off a "sorta grumpy but cool old man at the bar with lots of interesting stories to tell" vibe, which is so weirdly specific but that's just the impression i get.

[@werwar27]

yeah same, it sounds like a cooler more manly version of Japanese. I can see why it was used in Yakuza movies

[@ananasnapero5291]

The Hiroshima dialect made me feel so nostalgic because I heard it everyday when I was on my exchange year ;;-;; My host father especially had a strong dialect (my host mother was kind of embarrassed about her dialect but I always found it so cool and charming). I truly miss Hiroshima region😔

[@NoFuqinIdea]

I was so scared of learning japanese dialects until I realized that I don't even understand most dialects in my native language (german) and there is really not much of a need to learn a dialect unless you wanna live in an area where the dialect is being spoken.

[@Mikaela_Westmt]

True that!

[@Bareego]

German dialects are a lot more divergent though. If you haven't grown up in Germany, understanding people from for example Bavaria, the Palatinate or Saxony can be a bit tricky. I was lucky enough to grow up in Germany so don't mind :D

Akita-ben is not the only case for us; there are many others. Aomori-ben, Iwate-ben, Yamagata-ben, Okinawa-ben, Kagoshima-ben, for example, are very hard for us to understand, and even incomprehensible when spoken by hardcore locals, lol.

Maybe the people you interview try to speak Standard Japanese more because they know they’re being interviewed by a non-local? Also, it’d be fun to look at some of the Northern dialects. Sendai/Miyagi accent sounded quite different to me while I was there, and I heard that the Hokkaido dialect has some interesting quirks as well!

[@Neppiko]

A good anime to watch to listen for dialects is called Summertime Rendering.

[@orinblank2056]

When you started talking about the pitch accents, I realized that I use Kansai dialect a lot more than I thought I did! I studied there, and while I don't use a whole lot of phrases and expressions outside of や and sometimes へん, along with some more casual conjugations, I hadn't realized how much my pitch accent was affected by it. I wonder if it would be something that a speaker of standard dialect would pick up on. I haven't had the chance to meet with any Japanese speakers since leaving Japan and I spent all of my time there in Kansai, so I didn't speak to many people from outside the region.

It's interesting to notice that the japanese grammar accepts changes in the words themselves! In brazilian portuguese there are a lot of pronunciations for the same words depending on the area where the speaker was raised, but the words are always the same.

[@johnp.johnson1541]

Yuta san. As always, you make interesting videos. Your offers to learn Japanese with you are tempting. In a few months of diligent basework study of Nihongo, something stands out. Japanese seem to speak in an abbreviated way, almost like cavemen. Perhaps I have a strong mental bias as a native English speaker of Anglo-Saxon ancestry. English seems to have a flow to it, which many glue words or filler words give to speakers who speak it. This does not not seem so with Nihongo. Thus I am quite curious how you, as a native Nihongo speaker and a fluent English speaker, see the two languages in contrast.
