As a linguist and language teacher myself, the "language police" part of this video had me in stitches. I couldn't agree more with you. Native speakers know how to speak their own language, and it's them who "make the rules," so if a lot of speakers use a particular word/construction/pronunciation, it's obviously correct and fine, which also means teaching it to learners makes sense. We need a more descriptivist mindset in language classrooms, and it's great to see this mindset on this channel!

As an English person, native speakers can absolutely get it wrong. There's a point at which someone's speech is so unintelligible to the average speaker that you can't reasonably say they're correct, but also can't say they're speaking a different language because they understand your speech just fine. Or to put it in another context, I can't start babbling nonsense and say "I'm speaking my version of Japanese".

@nado5432118 сағат бұрын
@@dombo813that's not getting it wrong though. That's just speaking in a way you don't understand. If they're deliberating speaking nonsense sounds, that's different. And if they don't want to speak to you in a way you understand that's also an issue. But if it's something other people can understand, and you just don't, that doesn't mean the language is wrong. If someone is using a lot of slang or a dialect or accent I'm not used to, it doesn't mean they're not speaking English.

It's really refreshing to learn that Japanese is as rife with folk pronunciations and rhythmically pleasing contractions as Engilsh is.

@la.zanmal.2 күн бұрын
To be fair, on the scale of languages actually spoken by humans, it's pretty strict. Contractions like this don't fundamentally change the rules of how individual morae are timed and stressed. Spoken English has a very different rhythm to it, and sound shifts all over the place that native speakers barely even notice.
@dombo8132 күн бұрын
@@la.zanmal.that's more of an orthography problem. English language is actually pretty precise, as long as you aren't speaking in an American accent, but that precision doesn't show up in writing because the writing system failed to keep up with changes in pronunciation.

@@la.zanmal. English is actually a lot more consistent than people give it credit for, but it borrows words and grammatical constructs from a lot of different sources, and its alphabet was designed for Latin rather than English.

I think stuff like this is extra hard for people who aren't actually living in Japan and don't have to say these things dozens of times a day. I lived in Tokyo for 2 years and started off saying "ありがとうございます” just like everyone else but eventually by the time I left, I was basically just saying "あざま~~~す。It's definitely something you learn naturally when you're immersed. It's kind of similar to how "Konbini" and "Senpai" are actually pronounced with "M" instead of "N" just because it's a more natural and easier way of saying it.
