Secret Comment Time!
Oh hey my favorite friends, lemme know where you at with a secret comment!
① Do you have any new years resolutions for Japanese? If so, what are they? :D
#languagechallenge #japanese #jlpt
I told you we'd be back fast this time! :D Could you say these words?
If you missed it, here's part one!: ruclips.net/video/wVBJ2XGoge0/видео.html
Well, the way he pronounced 'colonel' is almost exactly how we pronounce it in Dutch (kolonel) .... ;)
Siri asking "should I keep going?" after looking up "existential crisis" was actually hilarious.
I was trying to say "colloqIUalism" and broke my jaw. Good job!
And now I think the スターバックスコーヒー you said first was also correct. Sorry!
SEN-SEI
三本塾Sambon Juku colloquialism is rough... I often say it with a w “cowoquialism”... not sure why
@@gennarice256 same
“Colonel” makes the L and R distinction for Japanese people extra confusing lol
So exceptionally cruel 😂😂
I came here to learn Japanese and I was hit by this English world. I've always pronounced it with R. I can't believe I never picked it from movies and stuff.
Love this series. These and Dogen's videos made me want to focus more on pronunciation.
I find that even if you don't have all the vocabulary or grammar, that on-point pronunciation can help to cover the slack.
If you're good at singing, I think it can help to pick up on the nuances quicker.
I hope this video series continues. Great theme
When Colonel Squirrel moved to Japan, he quarreled with his existential crisis: Not knowing how to say colloquialisms like 'What's up, where is my Starbucks Coffee Crunchy Almond Chocolate Frappucino?' in Japanese.
Wepped I laughed more than I should have 😂
😆
Painnnnnn...
"mi-NA-san", not "MI-na-sa-n"
"se-N-SE-i", not "SE-n-se-i"
"ha-SHI" vs. "HA-shi"
"ki-NI-SU-RU", not "KI-ni-su-RU"
"ki-NI-NA-ru", not "KI-ni-NA-ru"
Japanese pitch accent. Textbooks don't teach it, but natives are so particular about it.
True for Hyojungo but it changes with dialects. Kansai dialect has a different pitch accent for many words
I’m pretty sure the sensei one is different for Kansai-ben
@@tinymusicalfan3187 "SE-n-se-i" for Kansai-ben
ki-NI-SU-RU
@@walrusgumboot Kansai dialect also has different accent patterns that wouldn't even be possible in Hyojungo
This is great! Not enough emphasis is placed on pronounciation and most text books barely even cover it, if at all! Resources like this and Dogen are a goldmine!
So true when Akkie-sensei pointed out that textbooks and many English classes tell students to roll their tongue, which is not common in Japanese language, his tip on the guttural to emphasise the rolling "R" is spot on.
A plethora of quarrelsome squirrels frolicking
oh my gawddd
@@kemushichan I almost dislocated my jaw just typing it, not for beginner class.
Where's Uncle Earl when we need him?
FUN FACT: Sanders was not an actual Colonel. Per Google: "Kentucky Colonel is the highest title of honor bestowed by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Commissions for Kentucky colonels are given by the governor and the secretary of state to individuals in recognition of noteworthy accomplishments and outstanding service to a community, state, or the nation."
MIND BLOWN with the squirrel segment. So I'm born and raised in the states. It took me 9 years of speech therapy to get to the point where it simply sounds like I have an accent, yet I still have trouble with 14 different English sounds (R and W being just 2 of them) and you just taught me a way that helps me (at least the R part), that none of the speech pathologists ever mentioned. Thank you. Now if only I can do it instinctively.
I’m loving these videos!! I’d love to watch one where Akkie speaks 100% in English with Loretta sensei
When I worked at a Japanese kindergarten, they'd always ask me how to say stuff that was simple in Japanese, but ridiculously difficult in English. It was always in front of the kids too, which made it so awkward. Like, "Susan-sensei, how do you say 'kiku' in English?" And I'd be like, "Uhhhh, CHRYSANTHEMUM..."
Ahhahaha so funny. I dont even say KErRrSanntheMUM really anymore unless in Japan 😂
Oh hey! I didn't realize you had a really flourishing youtube channel. I just got mine back up after a 7 year hiatus. So many people from that time stopped making videos. Glad to see you are doing well!
YOU'RE BACK 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️

待ってました、第2弾!
発音について学べるのと、お二人の楽しそうな様子を観れるの、同時に出来て最高です!笑
In 1935 Kentucky governor Ruby Laffon bestowed Harlan Sanders the title of Colonel.
I’m in love with your videos!!!! I’m Brazilian and I just moved to Japan but while I was in Brazil I studied English for 6 years and this was the first time I’ve watched this kind of video that it’s helping me A LOT
Thank you so much! It’s amazing!
Outro BR aqui, que milagre kkkk
Thank you for talking about the pause/particle emphasis! I always wondered about it, since I see so many (mostly young) Japanese people speaking this way and I wasn't really sure why.
I loved your videos on pronunciation!!!! Thank you so much!! My best wishes from Argentina!
“My Japanese friends are always surprised by the amount of squirrels in the states.”
Is that a quote straight from Rachel from Rachel and Jun? I swear that was in their Japanese/American couples videos lol.
Fun fact: in US English lieutenant is pronounced loo-tenant but in most other regions it's pronounced leff-tenant. Maybe even tricker than colonel haha
andrewkiwi100 I’m pretty sure it’s spelled different in those cases.
Oh my god. Knowing the meaning, a tenant in lieu of someone else, makes it more easy to remember at least the spelling of
The British pronunciation comes from misreading it as *lievtenant from back when u and v were not distinct in writing
@@williamwallace234 nope! It's a British pronunciation. Can't do it the French way!
In all the years I studied Japanese nobody ever paid attention to teaching us accents. I wish they had. You guys are so cute together doing this.
@9:05 this is the point i realized i can check my pronunciation with google :))) Thank you for that. Also I finally understood the difference in pronunciation between chopsticks and bridge. So thanks for that too.
As an Spanish native speaker, being able to follow up on this video made me so proud
I thought it was just me having trouble with the word せんせい (sensei)! I couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong when I tried to say it and just knew it didn’t sound right 😂 But this was extremely helpful! You guys are amazing and hilarious btw 😊
One thing I love about the Japanese language is how lyrical it is. It's like learning a song, there's a tune to it, and if you miss that it's like singing off key.
Akkie-sensei says that 橋の端で are both the same, but most resources including NHK Accent Dictionary say that 橋 is 尾高 (はし↓) and 端 is 平板 (はし). I remember it because 端橋箸 are great examples to show three different accent patterns. I wonder where Akkie-sensei is from, whether it might be a regional difference.
This is four years late, but I do want to add that maybe this is a case of の changing an odaka pitch to a flat one like 犬 does. 日本, although nakadaka pitch, also goes through this. Idk if this is the case for 橋, but it could be.
2020 is already off to a strong start, glad to see Loretta and Akkie mashup
This is so cute. You both look like you are having so much fun. :) I could barely hear the difference in some of the Japanese examples!! It helped to see the little lowering and raising dots in my head (the pronunciation ones) lol! Great video!
You two made me laugh with your awesome rapport and got me smiling through the whole vid. Love it!
You've just earned yourself a new sub from Australia :) ありがとう
The pausing mid-sentence at the end of the clip was very good to know :-) I've been learning Japanese for over 2 years now and I still had a hard time speaking because I kept getting stuck at where to take a breather.
The question about the particles and pauses could also have to do with keeping your "speech turn" (I sadly do not know if this is what it is called in english linguistics, just hoping it is), ergo keeping yourself from losing your opportunity to speak while gathering your thoughts. It's somewhat similar to using "um" to try and get peoples attention before starting to speak, to make sure that your listeners are actually listening before moving on. Atleast it seemed to me like that could be what was going on, I really don't want to sound too presumptious.
コツは喉だったのか! 勉強になりました。ありがとう!
A colloquialism is more like a phrase that means something different than it may sound. Like the phrase "y'all come back now, ya hear!" might sound like it means "come back here now, did you hear me?" to someone who doesn't speak English as a first language or who isn't familiar with the term, but to someone who knows that phrase they understand it essentially means "be sure to come back again sometime." I've known non native English speakers who keep notebooks of colloquialisms, because sometimes they're difficult to understand.
楽しくリラックス出来る動画だね! ロレッタさんの笑顔も好きです!英語は苦手だけどチャンネル登録しました🙋
love that you mentioned natsume souseki in regards to existential crises
Thanks for these. Fun and educational. I hope you'll make more.
Akki-sensei, your pronunciation is incredible!!!
hahaha that was really helpful, as a Greek guy, speaking English and learning Japanese, it was so interested to see a video about pronunciation for both languages.
also Katakana sucks big time for me too :P hahaha
15:17 It's funny, I just noticed him doing this when he said "コーヒーの... "
This video is so inspiring! I just started a RUclips channel based on my experiences studying briefly in Japan and you motivate me to keep learning! Your level of fluency is incredible!!
Ty for this videos, it's entertaining and helpful to understand pitch accent etc :-D
土をつつく
My 1st attempts : ok
My 2nd attempts : ok
Me after 20 attempts : chutsi o chu chu ku
You have many fun tongue-twister like "裏庭には二羽庭には二羽鶏がいる", or "pad kid poured curd pulled cod"
面白いビデオだった!💕
After living in Japan for 2 years, studying, doing all sorts of studying exercises, it's only been recent that pitch accent/こ高低アク has gained a lot of traction! I rarely ever studied it at the time with teachers mostly focusing on grammar, vocab, and R/L pronunciation but never really the natural fluidity in speaking. I really think people like (especially) Dougen, Sanbonjuku, and (kind of) The Anime Man (He has spoken about it, not really taught) have really given it traction. There's even a binary system that properly exists for teaching it in some dictionaries! Thank you for teaching about some more! :)
Colonel used to be spelt 'coronel' but was changed to align with Italian 'colonnello'
His English is so good
I’m a Japanese from Tokyo but his accent is a bit different from mine. I think each people talk a little differently in Japan
I agree that borrowed words in katakana readings are really difficult to say. First, you have to figure out what crazy pronunciation they've made for a word and then when you figure it out you just want to say it the way it's actually said and not the way they've come up with. Finally, you've got to break down what you know and say a common phrase in a weird accent while trying not to say it in a stereotypical way.
I love how much fun you two have when you're together. The camera chemistry between you two is really good.
Let's not forget that the wonderful lieutenant is actually pronounced "Loo•teh•nuhnt" in American but "Lef•teh•nuhnt" here in the UK - English is a tricky little sod sometimes 😁
Oh gahd. I love this sort of video! But this is going to make me crazy while trying to learn Japanese songs. Hahaha.
Love these videos, both informative and entertaining. I found the pitch accent practice with clapping and singing very helpful .I wish Akkie Sensei would make a few videos using this technique.
This is so fun! And genuinely helpful. I hope you guys continue this!
Omg, you two are so cute! 😂😂
These are brilliantly funny and actually help a lot thanks guys 👌
The growling "that's so cool" sounds like/reminds me of the "Where's my Juul?" video, hahaha
早い! I've been researching and studying pitch accent since part 1 XD
I think it just comes down to hearing it enough, the inflection of a certain word is something that I adopted naturally without researching as long as you watch enough Japanese TV Dramas or Anime.
@@lolcollege2963 I'm also on the hunt for movies so any recommendations would be welcome lol
@@lolcollege2963 can you recommend sites for watching movies or dramas?
@@seherling207 Viki Rakuten or Crunchyroll for dramas
"Quarreling squirrels steal jewelry in rural areas." would've been funny too😂
I'm a native English speaker and I was struggling with existential crisis
Thank you for this. It was very helpful. I also think that learning the cadence of a language is important. Also makes me realize how English can be hard to learn. Because I’ve everyday life and talking to people, there is far less emphasis on words in English, compared to Japan.
I also find that how you two interact and the chemistry, makes for a quality production and an enjoyable environment for learning.
Namaste 🙏
Love all your videos guys
I love love love these videos. I really learn a LOT
You guys are so cute. Such a fun and cute video to watch! 😁✨💕🌞
Something about watching these videos just makes me want to speak/read Japanese even more. I have always thought it sounded way cooler then English. And the writing looks way better too. I want so badly to just have a conversation with some only using Japanese!
You guys are good together. 面白い過ぎる
The Ju-On part had me rolling. That's clever though lol
I always thought the pause at the particles was because they were thinking of the best way to phrase what they were trying to say. If I'm not mistaken, there's at least 2 ways to say the exact same thing in Japanese(in most cases). Like phrasing something to use wo instead of ha would change the sentence(structure? order?) but not the meaning. Correct me if I'm wrong about this.
I was suprised by how well he nailed squirrel
I love this series, it's funny and entertaining. :)
Have you made a video about stroke order and why its important?
Existentialism is 実存主義 (jitsuzonshugi)
In literature the author who embodies this term is the french writer and philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre. The moto of Sartre's existentialism is "existence precedes essence". As Loretta said, it was after Natsume Sôseki, who died in 1916, but indeed in the 20th century, around 1950s.
OK, so I am a beginner in Japanese (I only know hiragana and katakana and some basic vocabulary) and I actually found out that I have so much respect for Japanese people that can correctly pronounce English words (my sensei is a native speaker). Their language is just so much different. English isn't my mother tongue either but it is so much easier for me.
Me too, my mother language is brazilian portuguese and it's so much easie to me to learn english. Congratulations to them
The part where you did the girly american accent had me rolling on the ground XD!!!
Squirrel is harder to pronounce with an American accent. In Australia and the UK we pronounce it differently lol
めっちゃ面白かったです。
面白い!!パート3があるといいな😍
when they mention your favorite philosophical movement
Part 2!! Yes!! :D :D
I'm a native English speaker and I didn't know how to pronounce "colonel" either xD I thought it was colonial or something lmao it's a strange looking word
14:14 I went to Starbucks in Japan and thank god I had a Japanese friend with me. Back home I normally order a Cinnamon Dolce Latte but I didn't know if they would have that in Japan and I couldn't read the menu at all. I didn't want to bother my friend (since he was buying for our whole group) so I just told him I'd take a latte.
For some reason, the word which springs to mind is: 'philological'.
But as a beginner struggling with Japanese verb formation, I wonder how I can get the support I need when encountering terms such as: 支えさせられる
Katakana is my existential crisis
when i was in japan on my hs exchange year, my favourite word to have friends pronounce was "parallel"
それは本当に難しいです。いい発音があると思ったけど、それぞれの発音はちょっとちがいます。
カナダ人の合気道やってる同僚の先生のアクセントがまんま同じだった
The Colonel sells kernels of corn along with his chicken and mashed potatoes. ;-)
10:40 日本語にも実存的危機という言葉がありますよー
7:28 ROFL!! I busted a gut! xD
The worst English word for me is
Girlfriend.
Can't say it.
No matter how much I try.
Girl friend.
R L F R
D:
Dude to be honest every time I see the word “colonel”, I don’t even know how to read it 😂 for example when I was watching this I read it as “kaw-law-nel” 🤦♂️
Must Education because English is a dumb language lol
Spelled like French and pronounced like Italian "coronelo" and they're too lazy to officially change it
Like "Kansas" and "Arkansas" states...
I think I've heard "kaw-law-nel" a bunch of times instead of "kernel" but I don't find different spellings in dictionary.
Either everybody has spelled it wrong and not realizing it or maybe it's an accent/ dialect or something.
Either way English pronunciation is a pain in the ass.
p.s. I just realized that it's "pronunciation" and not "pronounciation" smh
正直 vs 掃除機 was hard for me
English is good. 👍🏼👍🏼
I still cant pronounce the word "world" no matter how hard i try.
Maybe if you use a standard British accent instead of an American one it will be easier. That way you can leave out the retroflex 'r' sound.
Leave the r out, [wəːɫd] instead of [wɝːld]
It's ZA WARUDO!
YES
I did a challenge with my little brothers for who can pronounce” HASI NO HASHI DE HASHI O TSUKAU “ and the winner will choose the next game 👍🌞 and they do love challenges like that 💕 it was so funny till one of us sayed it correctly 😂
.
Hello I just found your channel and I really want to study and learn Japanese and learn about the culture and maybe even live in Japan one day. Im 15 I know it might sound really stupid counting my age but I love everything about Asian culture . I wanted to know how long it took for you to talk fluent in Japanese and how many other languages you know. Thank you. Oh and I’m also kinda trying to learn Japanese but I’m not really getting anywhere on duolingo hmfp. But anyway thank you.
When he mentioned ju-on I lost it 🤣
Lol I remember my teacher would say she had to correct a lot of the students in the beginner courses for the way they pronounced 先生 It was interesting. I still have trouble with some words like 橋
Try "buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo" and guess where the verb actually is.
I should have written my linguistics dissertation on the advantages of practicing Juon's weird voice in order to improve one's American English
I love these videos. Before watching, I didn’t even think about pitch and intonation when pronouncing Japanese new words. When I start studying, luckily I’m gonna be more aware of it now 😊 thank you so much!
Ps Akkie-Sensei is so cute, I’m legit gonna cry omg 🥺😍
I understand now why my Japanese sensei always try so hard not to laugh every time I talk in Japanese :))))
