There’s going to come a day in the near future when this channel explodes in popularity - the content here is absolutely the best I’ve seen for learning proper Japanese pronunciation, and I’ve seen tons. These types of videos are what Japanese learners should start with from day one, to build a solid physical foundation with the language.
Very clear and useful instruction! It really helped me understand it better than the different, more informal explanations I was seeing in other places. Subscribed!
Thank you:) Not really. It’s the same R sound, but in this case, I feel like I'm pressing the tip of the tongue more against the gum ridge than I usually do!!!
Hi! Thank you :) One question: how do you spell the romaji version of the word if small tsu is followed by shi, tsu or chi? Would it be "shshi" or "sshi", or what?
Hi, thank you for watching! Basically, a small Tsu is spelled with the first letter after it. For example, ざっし is spelled “zasshi” in Romaji. But, Before ch, it is spelled with T. For example, こっち is spelled “kotchi.” There are 2 major ways of Romaji spellings: Hepburn and Kunrei-shiki. In both ways, spellings of a small Tsu are the same in that it is spelled with the first letter after it, but please keep in mind that I’m using Hepburn romanization here!
How come other native Japanese youtubers can't explain pronunciation rules even close to what this guy does? Does being native make them actually unaware of how they pronounce their own language?

Thank you for all videos🙆
Brilliant explanations, thank you.
Excellent video, it's a little hard to understand chiefly about fricative, but with practice I can prevail about it.
Thank you very much!
yeah just same as learning note. I love it
What about for a double n , like in onna ?
先生は日本人ですか？Your English is excellent😊
while pronouncing がっらがら, does the r sound become more like a d sound?
Also, congrats for the 200+ subs!!!

@@campanasdejapanese oh yes, right! Thanks!!!
Does the t sound like d if it follows a small tsu?
One thing that I wonder is why was TSU chosen to be the kana that represents the Sokuon sound.
