I´m from Venezuela(Latin America) I study languages 14 including Japanese, Chinese, I´ve studyin Burmese/Myanmar for 2 years and I love it. It is interesting for me, the scripts the pronounciation, some Burmese peolpe have been helping me students from University of Foreign Languages, Yangon Language Schooland others friends I have few phrases, words and slang but there I go . now I found this page I wanna thanks for teaching Burmese/Myanmar
hello mam iam from india,tamil nadu but my grandmom and grandpa are from burma and my dad and mom also born in burma...but we are native of india...they know burmese language since i can't speak burmese language but your channel is veryyyy useful to me mam...litteraly iam getting emotional while learning burmese ..please reply me mam
I'm from Arunachal Pradesh North East India Near Burma border ...my mother's tung was (Nocte) language it was matching some words relating with Burmese languages...
according to discovery Burmese people may be sino tibetan people. Same skin colour ,same face,.Naga ,ahom ,karachi ,kuki,chakma,mizo ,mei tai people look like burmese Ethnically.Burmese language is closely related with neighbouring east indian people. unfortunately military govern burma many years.
The last tones are difficult to differentiate. The words ချုပ် and ချုံ့ sound identical to me. Does anyone else hear a difference? Thanks for the video. It's been very helpful.
The second one of the last two sounds like it is cut just a bit shorter in duration, possibly driving it to be slightly nasal. 1st one drifts out, 2nd sudden stop, correct?
@@amglitkoko8502 it's because of the speakers. in person can understand far easier especially the nasal sound which is very preesent in so much myanmar speech.
Hello im from Perú. Cute presentation of languages. I speak Spanish and now I have to learn English with Burmese language. I found a nice friendship from her country, she is called Zun May and is evangelical Christian by facebook I met her and now I have to learn her Burmese language
Thank you for putting up this lesson in such a yummy language. To be honest with you I'm not sure I hear any difference between the creaky and stopped tones. They sound the same to me! (4:59, etc...)
Myanmar speakers can speak more tones,tunes,pronunciation than any other nations in the world.They can pronouce english,french,german,russian,japanese,chinese or any other languages by using their own language.For example,a korean or a thai can't pronounce french or german by using their own languages.It has universal versatile tongues and it can also bridge to any other tongues in the planet.I knew that after learning about 40 languages as a linguist.
+Sam Loke Indeed, this is mostly true. There are several different levels of language in Burmese and the way the language is used in writing and speaking is not the same. Writing will use a somewhat more formal language, words can be different in some cases as well.
+Burmese Lesson thank you for ur answer. then I think Burmese language is not as simple as I think. Actually I thought i can learn burmese speaking from literal writing, but since they are not the same, it will make me difficult to read from the text and speak. I would like to learn this language because some Myanmar refugees in my country here malaysia
Sam Loke You're very welcome! Actually our website www.burmeselesson.com focuses on teaching spoken language mainly, so that people can communicate. Just create a Free account and try to see if that can help you in your learning process. Good luck :)
So if Myanmar is tonal, then how do you sing? Because your tone goes up and down while singing, how does one word keep it's meaning? Also, how do you show your emotions?!
What do you mean? The word "ka" for example means to dance. In a high tone, it means "a car". So if a song lyrics say "she is dancing", you will easily know the meaning. Also Burmese don't label objects as he/she which makes it even easier.
In tonal languages, the tones are not followed perfectly while singing , also most traditional Burmese songs are compromised of standard phrases / sayings /euphemisms and most are around select topics ie ancient royal patriotism, Buddhist stuff, love ballads and country life Just as it would be more difficult for you to clearly hear the words on a modern hip-hop or rock track Modern Burmese pop style music won't be as clear tonally /pronunciation wise compared to classic songs
Also Burmese is not a very tonal language Burmese has really only 2-3 real tones the others are glottal stops and aspirations There are real tonal languages like Cantonese that start with 5-7 tones and in certain dialects hit 9+ , chaosan dialect has a similar number of tones but a preceding syllable's tone changes the tone of the next syllable causing constant tone rotation Then there are extremely tonal languages like Hmong and Miao which can have over 15 tones And generally languages with more tones have more proficient singers on average
+Olivia T Hi there, if you want to check more videos, you can go to our newly updated website burmeselesson.com. We have some free audios and videos to help you learn Burmese, as well as many other contents: vocabulary lists, glossary, flashcards, word bank, grammar lessons... this can help a lot.
That's the language I thought Drabdull was speaking on Imagination Movers or Bulgarian when he couldn't speak English and no one but Knit Knots could communicate with him.
did Chinese and Burmese sound similar before Chinese developed the tones from Middle Chinese? there's a video on RUclips that show how Ancient Chinese used to sound like - and it does not sound Sinitic at all.
i also find middle chinese to sound like thai or vietnamese. mandarin is chinese with a lot of mongolian and turkic influence, that's why it sounds so different than other chinese languages that were not influenced by our northern and western neighbors. i personally don't think burmese sound like middle chinese. actually i think it's softer than thai or vietnamese but i might be biased coz i understand burmese.
you can say "a-ma har, ar-yen hla dte" this is more polite, I was taught to not use the word "nin", very impolite to use "nin" or "ngar"(which translate "you" and "I" respectively), so you must use a proper pronouns instead of "you' or "I"
+Burmese Lesson Do you happen to know how I can learn Burmese in Myanmar？ I can't open the website of the Burmese Ministry of Education abroad, it seems that it has been blocked.
+Yu Ying If you want to learn Burmese, we have now a website dedicated to learning Burmese through audios and video... If you want to have a look, just go to burmeselesson.com and connect using your e-mail. This is the largest Burmese language ressource online so far :). Hope it will be useful.
You can simply say: ဘာလုပ္ေနလဲ - "ba lote nay le:" => What are you doing. We often omit the pronoun in Burmese, so if you address directly to someone, just saying this sentence will be enough, no need for pronoun and differentiate between man and woman.
There is no intonation in your spoken English which is not easy to understand for those native speakers who want to learn Burmese through your lecture.

ချုံ့ have a nasal ending where ချုပ် doesn't have. That's how it sounds to the native ears.
