    I'm Japanese living in Tokyo who is originally from Aichi (which is central part of the main island).
    If you are learning Japanese language, don't worry too much about dialect. Only those who are determined to live in Kansai region may need to learn the Kansai dialect.
    If you are from aboard, anyone who can speak some level of Japanese itself will impress Japanese people a lot, and standard Japanese is understood 100% anywhere you go in Japan.
    So don't worry!!

      but they are sometimes unnecessary harsh to people with similar dialect. they get offended once they think people speak fake Kansai dialect(エセ関西弁). I speak Mie dialect, which is kinda similar to Kansai one, and some Osaka people tell me like "Are you mocking Kansai dialect?" "Are you speaking fake Kansai dialect". I'm sick of those kinds of people! I just speak my onw dialect where I grew up. I don't care what dialect others use. It's good they have pride of their own dialect, but they definitely should understand there are a lot of local dialects similar to Kansai dialect.

      It's not really country style, especially since Osaka is one of the biggest cities in Japan. I would say it's more like the difference between how sone African Americans(thinking of the Baltimore dialect) speak and how most white Americans speak. Not really country or city, just a different style of speaking and slang.

    Wow, amazing! Thank you so much for this video clip, Miku sensei. After almost 40 years, I've finally found my answer regarding spoken Japanese in the 細雪 (Makioka sisters) movie. No wonder they sounded a little "funny" because the film used thoroughly in Kansai dialect instead of the "standard/Tokyo" Japanese. Come to think of it, I assume the author Tanizaki Junichiro probably wrote all the characters' dialogues in the Kansai dialect. Interestingly, by the time Tanizaki wrote 細雪, he had already lived in Kyoto for over 25 years. And I presume all of the nuances of the Kansai dialect got lost when translated to another language (i.e., English). I hope someday I'll be able to read the original Japanese novel and grasp the classic Osaka essences again.

      If it is hard, just learn the Tokyo (main) dialect.
      You don’t need to learn the different Japanese dialects unless you want to, or you are planning on living in Japan but not in the Kanto region.
      Good luck with your studies~!

      Dialects can be difficult to understand💦
      There are many dialects in Japan.
      But as long as you can speak standard Japanese, you will be understood by people all over Japan.
      And if you go to Osaka, Osaka people are one of the most cheerful people in Japan, so they will try to communicate with you through gestures.
      And not only that, but also in other parts of Japan, the Japanese people as a whole will try their best to communicate with you, so as long as you can speak standard Japanese, your conversation will be quite smooth! :)

      People understand Kanto dialect (basis for modern standard Japanese) in Kansai no problem; also, due to many Osakan comedians on TV, Osaka-ben (a type of Kansai dialect) is not unfamiliar in Tokyo! If you know standard, the jump to Kansai isn't too hard.

      @@lesthermiranda1794 Chinese tones are much harder than pitch accent, and also much more important. 99% of the time a pitch accent "mistake" is no big deal. In fact it's not even necessarily a "mistake", it's just a non-standard pitch, and many natives have non-standard pitch themselves. In fact some natives do not even use pitch accent, really. At the end of the day you can afford to not worry about pitch. Chinese tones, however, are crucial.

      Standard Japanese is understandable everywhere in Japan and Japanese people basically speak standard Japanese when they are not in hometown(I don't know the reason but only kansai people tend to use kansai dialect even when they are not in hometown)
      Basically, it's considered that if you were not from the region, you shouldn't intentionally speak the dialect because a dialect in Japanese is to learn naturally
      That's because "non-native speaker of the dialect" tries to speak the dialect, it usually sounds strange, even when native Japanese speaker mock other dialect where they aren't from

Then it became more familiar to my ears when I watched "Let's Go Jets!". I think both of dialects (Tokyo or Osaka/Kansai) are equally good and each of them has their own uniqueness. ☺❤
