Japanese Listening Practice | Mastering Mora, Japanese rhythm

- There's an error.
In the second line of the second-to-last verse, the number of mora is 8, not 7.
So the correct count is:
５ つくろうヨ
８ ほたるのすみよい
５ あいかわを
Unlike the second-to-last verse, this one's second line cannot be fixed.
All hiragana, including small つ, ん, きゃ and long vowel have one mora each, the same length.
When you acquire the concept of mora, your Japanese will sound more natural.
You'll learn more about mora in my subscription course:

About Haiku:
Japanese haiku is rather difficult to write.
It has to contain one seasonal word, 季語（きご） in a haiku.
You can't have two seasonal words, but one.

English is an amalgamation of words from multiple languages which makes it a nightmare to learn. At least in Japanese, vowels are pronounced the same in every word, unlike in English, where it depends on the historical origin of the particular word as well as the regional dialect...
Very agree with you. I'm not raised in an English speaking country so I know the hurdles and difficulties in learning the language. Even though I learn English since elementary school, it is still difficult for me to catch up in a conversation with a native speaker. It is not enough just to learn the vocabulary and the grammar, so I decided to learn more about the pronunciation. Right after that, I'm getting better in catching up with native speaker, and the good thing is now I can spot whether the speaker is a native or not by just listening from the accent. Right now I have been learning Japanese for 1 year and from my experience by learning the accent it boosts my learning rate. Also, as Fumi 先生 said by learning the accent we can be more authentic in the language.
That makes English beautiful. It’s so multicultural and really just a combination of a whole bunch of languages. Makes sense why it’s the lingua franca of today.
Words loaned from Chinese make up 60% of the total lexicon of Japanese, fool.
English spelling sacrifices intuitive pronunciation for the sake of making root meanings more obvious, so it’s easier to guess what a word means. Kind of like kanji actually….
Japanese is also heavily influenced by Chinese and English in vocabulary and to a lesser extent by Portuguese, dutch and Spanish.
I don't know why/when the topic of pitch accent became such a controversy in the Japanese language learning community.. It is clearly an important part of the language and I think it is necessary if your goal is to be able to speak in a natural, native-like way. I'm still a beginner and have a lot more to learn to become fluent, but when I travel to Japan, I want to be able to converse with people with as little "American accent" as possible. It seems easier to learn a new language the correct way, rather than learn all the vocabulary and grammar and then have to go back and re-learn the authentic way to speak and use it.. This is why I signed up for Fumi-Sensei's online course long ago and I haven't looked back since.
ふみ先生、正しい発音を教えてくれてありがとうございます！
Thank you, rich-san, for always supporting me!!
Right, I wonder why it's a controversy 😅 So I had to say it.
For my course, I remember you differentiate びょういん and びよういん beautifully after watching the video "The Rhythm of びゃびゅびょ and the Other Contracted Sound" uploaded there. I was happy to know that my video worked, with your effort😊
これからもよろしくお願いします✨
i agree!! my dream someday is to become a japanese language teacher for beginning to advanced intermediate students, and this is something i would teach.

It took me a while and had to use a dictionary, but here is a haiku I wrote thinking about how it has felt with you as my 先生 on my Japanese learning journey:
感謝の葉
学びの庭に
咲く花よ
It's a bit poetic and cheesy, but was hard to find words that fit with the 5-7-5 pattern. :)
Dade-san,
Wow, it's so beautiful!!
Thank you so much😍
One thing... it's not haiku. Haiku need a seasonal word.
I don't know how to call it, but I love it. Thank you!!
Great video as always
Thanks!!😄
this video is so relaxing i almost fell asleep. please use this microphone a lot. Thank you so much!

Thanks for all your work! I love your videos although I‘m hardly able to understand all you say without subtitels. To embrace just all these difficulties and obstacles is a lovely idea. Thank you! I‘ll remain humble and learn every day a tiny luttle bit until I can write all this in a natural japanese! 😊
Great attitude, I'm trying to do the same thing. Patience is key.
Im Diné so i understand the stressing on certian syllables and sounds . Great video. My japanese journey is a slow steady pace but its great so far thanks for your vids

I love the term too, so I used it again in this video.
Thank you so much for the super thanks too😊✨
@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally Not at all, Sensei. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for making all the videos. Especially for always including a Transcript.
Most thoughtful and generous of you, Sensei.🙏🙏🙏
In French we don't have pitch except for end of the sentence (question, statement...) nor stress. We stress every syllable the same... Our grammar is more difficult
Best 😊😊
I actually love pitch accent, I find Japanese as a language as wonderful to listen to and try to learn. I find the pitch accent creates a wonderful rolling sound to listen to.
ビデオをありがとうございます。はいくとけしきをたのしかったです。
Pitch accent is definitely something worth understanding. I know your lessons have improved my Japanese greatly. Also, once we practice pitch accent it becomes a natural part of our Japanese and we don't really think about it when speaking.
たのしんでもらえて、よかったです😊
شكرا على هذا الفيديو الرائع، لقد إستمتعت به حقا و إستفدت و أثمن نصيحة كانت "عليك إعطاء كل حرف المدة الخاصة به" اليابانية رائعة و انا استمتع بها جدا، إنني اراها مثل اللحن الجميل و التعبير عن المشاعر بها يبدو ممتعا، اعلم ان التحديات موجودة دائما و علينا ان نقبلها، شكرا لك إستمتعت بالمقطع، و قولك "انا اقرأ جميع التعليقات شجعني على كتابة هذا و زر الترجمة سيحل الآمر بالنسبة للجميع 😁
معلومة مشوقة: انا اجد صعوبة في عدم التشديد على الحروف اكثر من التشديد 😅. اعتقد ان اسلوبي هو السبب و إن كانت الحروف قوية في اللغة العربية 🔥
Pitch accent makes Japanese easier, not harder, to understand. Japanese has relatively few distinct phonemes, as compared to English. Sentences would be highly ambiguous without pitch accent clues.
This is very good to learn Japanese ❤❤
Glad to hear that. Thank you😊
Can we just appreciate how good the videos are? Fumi san, thank you for the videos! Also, congrats on 220k subscribers! I’m watching you since 190k subscribers, and all of the videos are awesome!
Thank you so much!! Finally, reached 220k and I'm so happy😊

先生質問があります. When you talk about natural Japanese rhythm, are you saying that Japanese people speak (or try to speak) in haiku (5-7-5) rhythm (conscientiously or unconsciously)? Do I need to speak with this rhythm to sound natural? ありがとうございました!
Hi, Jack-san,
Oh, no, we don't use 5-7-5 rhythm when we speak.
What I wanted to say in this video was that all hiragana have the same lengths(have one mora each) because English speakers' small tsu and long vowels are sometimes too short.
I should have pointed out to make that point clear.😅
ありがとうございます 先生❤
どういたしまして、Raju Tmgさん😊

بالنسبة إلي يبدو الشعر الياباني غريبا بعض الشيء، بالنسبة للشعر في اللغة العربية فأنا لا اعرف عنه الكثير لكن هناك ما يسمى "بالقافية" و هو جعل الكلمة الأخيرة من كل جملة بنفس الوزن مع بقية الجمل، بعض المعبومات في هذا الفيديو تفسر الكثير 😄

Hey, I was just wondering if you could help me with a cultural question I had about Japan?
When I was on Shikoku doing part of the Shikoku Ohenro, many of the shingon temples had stone-posts lining the walkways and entrances with what looked like dates or numbers on them. I remember a Monk telling me they were memories or markings of donations to the temple, but I cannot remember if this is true? Do you know?
That's true. Usually, a name and the amount of the donation are written too.
@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally is there a name for the posts themselves?
They are called tamagaki, 玉垣（たまがき）.
@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally thank you very much !!! I hope to return and finish my ohenro, so knowing these words is very important to me.
Thank you for this interesting lesson. I may have missed something but the 2nd to last hyougo seems to have 8 mora in the 2nd line. Which syllable can be dropped in speech to make it 7? Arigatoo
Oh, my, zamyrabyrd-san!
Thank you for pointing it out! It was a mistake... it actually have 8 mora in the 2nd line and there's no part to be dropped in that case.
@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally Dear Sensei, thank you for answering my comment. What would be done in a case like that where there are 8 mora instead of 7? I spent some time in Japan so was always wondering about the hyougo(s) near the river. BTW, my husband, Fumikatsu, 文勝, named "triumph of literature" right before the war ended, reminded me of your name. I was wondering if it is from the same character 文, "bun" and if it common for girls to have that name. Thanks. Janet Inoue
Hi, Janet-san, my kanji for ふみ is 史, history. For girls, it's also common for girls to have the kanji 文 in their names😊
When there are 8 instead of 7 mora, if が or は is included, you can drop it, but in this case, there's no way to make it 7. So we just have to leave it as it is.
May I please ask why 蛍 is sometimes written using katakana, ホタル and sometimes as hiragana, ほたる?
Hi, Helza-san,
That's a good question!
In scientific terms, the names of bugs are written in katakana. But for individual use, which one to use depends on the person. For me, I'd use 蛍 when I write a poem, but when I explain something, I might use ホタル because hiragana ほたる makes it difficult for readers to understand since hiragana doesn’t stand out among other hiragana. In the video, when I make viewers count mora, I used ほたる because I used hiragana for other kanji too.
So it depends on the situation, and oftentimes, there's no clear explanation but individual preference.

i know this isn’t from this video but it’s from the how to say my name in japanese video how do i say “kazzmere” in japanese ? it’s pronounced kazz-meer.
I guess it's カズメル, but until I hear the sound, I can't decide.
@@SpeakJapaneseNaturally i know a way you can hear it! Go to google translate on a tab on your phone and type my name in exactly as it is “kazzmere” and you’ll hear it! And thanks in advance i hope this isn’t wasting your time🙏🏾
If it's in English, it sounds like カズミア.
