    Being a programmer with an Asian heritage, I relate a lot to what you say and think. I came here when I was 4 from Korea but unfortunately can speak only English well. I still try to study Korean but picking up another language doesn’t come as easy for me as picking up another computer language.

    I've always wondered how people stay in touch with their heritage when they don't grow up in the nation from which their culture hails. My family has been in America since the 1600s, so my culture is about as American as you can get.

    If your native dialect is Kansae-ben then I'm guessing your parents are from Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto region, the cultural part of Japan ?

    • @vampyrelycan99
      @vampyrelycan99 3 роки тому

      It's too broad to determine. Plus the Kinki region is not limited to just Keihanshin areas...
      As for her dialect, again it depends on where in the Kinki region her parents were actually from. Note that Kansai Ben is just a generalization of the entire Kinki dialect group. Even Osaka Ben has its own sub-dialects as well......
      The only apparent thing in her JP speak is the Keihan accent even when spoken in standard lingo (ie. hyoujungo), according to other viewers......

  • @ProjektKlover

    Do you pronounce your name with an American accent because you want to, or because it's easier for your audience? How do you usually pronounce your name? (just curious)

    • @hellomayuko
      @hellomayuko  3 роки тому +3

      I do so because I've done so for years, I guess. It's definitely easier for Engilsh speakers to pronounce it the way that I do in the intro, but in Japanese the emphasis is definitely different. I'm still glad that I have a Japanese name even if it's sounds "foreign" to most Americans; I know that some Asian American folks benefit from changing their name or having an English name from the get-go, but a English-y pronunciation of my Japanese name feels like a good compromise for me. Also, the two different pronunciations almost speak to the different sides of my identity and the context switching I'm constantly doing between the two.
