My dialect is Osaka dialect and I live in Tokyo now. Not so many people at business situation notice I'm from Osaka but once I get to be friendly to them, they will ask me "are you from Osaka?" Always love the moment actually! Thank you Yuta-san for your informative lesson!😊❤️
Valid for any language tbh. Most native speakers are very cordial and accommodating to someone doing their best. Well... maybe except for French people lol if your French is anything but perfect, you get angry grimaces and unsolicited switches to English.
@@RVered i'd argue even if ur french is impeccable lololol. ah, the french. each of them, individually, the very best at being french and also at everything else.................... somehow...
@@RVered That’s bc they speak English. In Japan most people only speak Japanese. It’s easier to learn Japanese because they don’t speak English, meaning that u have to speak Japanese, even if u speak broken Japanese.
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.
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😔
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.
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
@@djinn666 As someone from west germany I find it genuinely easier to understand Dutch than Swiss German. Been to Bern once and didn't get a single word when I asked someone for the way.
When I lived in Tokyo I remember hearing people talk about Akita-ben, and that to them it was almost incomprehensible. I would love to hear some examples of it!
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.
@@david-stewart eh, i dont know, i think that's part of the joke for me, because he'll be speaking about something seemingly unrelated and then out of nowhere it's like, damn...how didn't i see that coming?
It's so interesting to see the varying pitch patterns in Japanese in contrast to languages such as Spanish which has accents that would dictate where the stresses in words would go.
This reminds me of Detective Conan episode 651 (Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West), and I still wondered if Osaka people would get angry if they heard other people spoke poor Kansai Dialect.
My wife is from Hiroshima ken, and I hear some of this from time-to-time when she talks. When we visited her parents, it was me (textbook guy, spoke some with terrible accent) trying to understand Hiroshima ben. I miss them.
For someone who's been learning Japanese for years (but without any significant development, sorry 😅), it is quite interesting to see some explanation about the variants of dialect that exists in the Japanese language. Maybe you can do another videos like this for another dialect? Somehow I quite interested in Hakata dialects.
Actually such dialect (or dialect group) is more difficult than you think... Also many within JP don't seem to respect such dialect and instead make fun of it... There are dedicated YT channels that teach Kansai ben in great depths, you may want to check those out......
I've haven't found any resource material for Kansai pitch accent Tokyo pitch it's already hard enough, but at least it has a lot of resources to learn from
In the Attack on Titan game your character asks Sasha about her accent and she gets all nervous. I never understood that part because I couldn't hear the difference in the dialect, now it all makes sense
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!
As someone whose want to focus on Kansai-ben for my speaking skill, this is truly gem! Thank you so much Yuta-san! I would love to know other accents too!
Could you react to Sana, Momo and Mina's (TWICE band members) accents? They are from Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe respectively and have been living in Korea from a long time~ Thank You!! ^^
Loving the hairstyle in this video!!! It suits you well!!! Also interesting how in every language there is some cross over between dialects and accents. I will say though this is why people have trouble with English. It may be easy to begin learning, hit the range of accents and dialects is what makes it difficult to master.
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.
Does anybody know if the main dialect present in the anime "2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu/2.43: Seiin High School Boys Volleyball Team" is the Kansai dialect? I really enjoyed hearing it and I'd like to learn more about that dialect. I'm sorry for my ignorance. I don't know much about the japanese language and geography.
After living in Miyazaki for a little while, I've really become interested in the many dialects in Japan, so this video was super interesting! Thanks Yuta!
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.
The Dialect used by the Homosapiens group from OddTaxi was quite hard to follow for someone who's just been studying standard Japanese, so I definitly found this video super helpful. Looking forward to learning more about the different dialects.
I watched shokugeki no soma years ago and didnt notice megumi and shinomiya dialects at all. I just cant say what was the difference. But now as I studied nihongo for 2 years. and watching shokugeki no soma again, I found megumi and shinomiya's dialect are cute😅😂
My family is from Okayama, and since okayama is in between them it’s interesting to hear both kansai and hiroshima accents because i notice patterns of both in my family’s accents (seems to be closer to hiroshima, though) My mother went to school in tokyo and i have lived abroad since i was young so i haven’t picked up the dialect unfortunately, but it’s always something interesting to hear, especially as someone interested in language in general. Thanks for the video!!

i got interested in Kansai dialect thx to Josee, tiger and the fish recent movie...i find it kind of cute when Josee speaks with Kansai dialect, example like the 'ya, ja and hen' at the end of her sentence.
Would love more deep dives into other dialects. Funny thing for me was to find that the Hiroshima dialect is what you hear all the hard boiled gangsters in the Yakuza games speak.
This is totally random, but today i had a lesson with my japanese tutor and we were reviewing one of my sentences that i made from my Genki workbook. The sentence was: きっさてんにはいて、休みましょう。And my tutor said to me that japanese people don't use the word きっさてん nowadays and that it's old fashioned. So we were wondering why they still use old japanese vocabulary in textbooks. So i thought maybe ゆたさん knows or someone else.
For my sense(I’m Japanese of early 20s), the word "きっさてん(喫茶店 in Kanji)" is a bit old-fashioned, to simply refer "tearoom / coffee shop". The word "カフェ(kafe)"(came from the word "café") is more common. You can still use the word "きっさてん", but it sounds like older style tearooms or coffee shops (like the one having nostalgic interiors, opened around 20th Century), so I think it's not suitable for today's modern chain shops like Starbucks.
Damn, never knew you were originally from the Kyushuu region, I couldn't have noticed. Greetings from an Osaka-haafu living abroad that probably has developed even more weird pitch accent patterns, from my lack of contact with Japanese, besides my mother (and Anime).
I think it's just me but learning pitch accent is the hardest thing in learning Japanese cause I can't really differentiate the sound at all even after Yuta make a comparison in "Seiyuu san wakaru?" Is there a way to make learning Japanese pitch accent easier? and does people still understand (or maybe in this case they don't mind) if you said Japanese in not standard Japanese pitch accent?
Japan has so many different dialects, I find it interesting. I learned Awa-ben because I spent 6 years in Tokushima, and even though it is so close to Kansai-ben it's still different! Very interesting because the Hiroshima accent actually sounded closer to Awa-ben to me than Kansai-ben did, although Awa-ben seems like a huge mix between Kansai-ben and Hiroshima accent, but I'm a foreigner who learned Japanese in Japanese so it might just be me
Am I crazy for wanting to learn how to speak kansai dialect by default? It just sounds so much more expressive and cool to me. And I love the association with comedy and entertainment.
It's a little disappointing you didn't say something about the throaty, standard-English-like pronunciation in Kaz's Hiroshima dialect! Especially since that's very much his thing as a language teacher.
@@rattlehead001 lovecom is soo good ;-;. If you are used to standard Tokyo accent you will tell the difference. There will be characters in some anime who will have a different accent . Usually kansai ppl are associated with comedy so sometimes comedic characters will speak kansai-ben Another eg In bleach gin speaks Kyoto-ben
Many have long suspected that Yuta was from Hiroshima but now he has confirmed it. He should be proud of his heritage (as a West JP native) but I also hope he'll regain his native dialect some day.......
@@EriniusT If I remember correctly he only stated (in those past vids) that he used to teach English back in Hiroshima... Anyway correct me if I'm wrong
First time i heard the kansai dialect amd noticed it was while playing the yakuza series. One of the main groups is the Omi alliance, from Osaka. Not only that, but one of the characters, Majima, speaks in the kansai dialect.
I'm going to help everyone speak Japanese. Follow these steps in order. First, learn how to say the alphabet. Second, learn how to say numbers. Third, learn how to say words and phrases. Fourth, practice the previous steps until they become second nature. People often don't consider that in order to master a language, it's best to take the route of a child. Speech comes before reading. Reading before writing. Writing before pronouns, adjectives, proper grammar, sentence structures, and word products. Take it one step at a time.
The Tokyo standards was the result of when the emperor decided to hire (forced)retired shoguns and samurai and integrate them into teachers, gun-makers, engineers etc. So modern 'standard' Japanese were just samurai's Japanese. The samurai was retired as a result of emperor regaining his power, during the Meiji 'restoration' plan. And that happens because every shogun in different region have a standard of what can be define as the 'purity' of gold, being that it is the main currency and that was chaotic, causing the economy to go haywire and with the threat of foreign power both from the east and west, naturally the people sided with the king, and launched a coup against the feudal lords. So yeah, Tokyo/standards Japanese is the same as samurai's Japanese, but they used to say "degozaimasu" instead of "desu" so a lot has change over time. Oh and yeah, typically a samurai, are highly educated and they can speak multiple languages, that's probably why their Japanese have a lot more rule. But still confusing nonetheless because it's Japanese.

I was surprised to learn that the voice actors on Zombie Land Saga used a dialog coach to learn the Saga dialect, which I didn’t know existed.
Could you do a video about how Miyauchi Renge speaks?
That's a GREAT idea, i really liked that anime and i got interested in Renchon's way of speaking, which sounds different from other characters
The Tokyo standards was the result of when the emperor decided to hire (forced)retired shoguns and samurai and integrate them into teachers, gun-makers, engineers etc. So modern 'standard' Japanese were just samurai's Japanese. The samurai was retired as a result of emperor regaining his power, during the Meiji 'restoration' plan.
And that happens because every shogun in different region have a standard of what can be define as the 'purity' of gold, being that it is the main currency and that was chaotic, causing the economy to go haywire and with the threat of foreign power both from the east and west, naturally the people sided with the king, and launched a coup against the feudal lords.
So yeah, Tokyo/standards Japanese is the same as samurai's Japanese, but they used to say "degozaimasu" instead of "desu" so a lot has change over time.
Oh and yeah, typically a samurai, are highly educated and they can speak multiple languages, that's probably why their Japanese have a lot more rule. But still confusing nonetheless because it's Japanese.
I was raised in Japan but never heard about that. Could you tell me what the source is?
I remember hearing “baka yarou “ a lot in anime.
that yarou 野郎 is different from this yaro やろ
Yarou is like idiot, it's different from darou which is Speculating
