Yeah, but he‘s still better than her. Also, they‘re just messing around with random phrases, both of them are not serious learners and have not studied Japanese. This is like even below N5 level, but I guess that Yuta wanted to make a free video for extreme beginners, so I guess it‘s going to be helpful for some people.
@@mojabaka Even though I knew about pitch accent and stuff, the more grammatical concepts were still helpful for me. I think Yuta covers a lot of stuff that I don’t learn right out of the gate with Genki I but that I should still know.
Proving no matter how much coin you make, people will still go with the cheaper option.😂 Seriously though, I think even if I made her type of money, I'd still be tempted to find a way to get cheap or free lessons. 😁
She does have a Japanese tutor. The 1st dude was NOT her tutor. Its her costar and best friend on a show called victorious. Her japanese tutor even spoke out when she got hate for that tattoo
It’s cool when she makes an effort to speak Japanese for her fans, when artists come to Sweden and say something small like “hi Sweden” in Swedish we all get super happy 🇸🇪
Teachers: "Japanese is flat" Japanese : Ame, aME I think it'd be a lot better to not say that it's flat but instead explain that you'll learn tonal stuff as you speak and listen to it
Most native English speakers have to intentionally study pitch accent to acquire it. The teachers who say that Japanese doesn't have pitch accent are just wrong.
Technically speaking, Japanese has flat sounds, but ranged intonation, inflection, and pitch. That’s one thing that pretty misleading which causes many people to pronounce words weirdly
I think it’s because they just don’t really notice it since it’s their first language that they acquired instead of learned so for some things you either have to learn it or just really think about it lol, however it is commonly known that there’re pitch accents, they even have names of their own so I feel like your teacher should’ve known about those.
My Japan experience in a nutshell: Me: Tanaka-san, konnichiwa! Tanaka-san: ohayou! Me: Hmm ok, I guess it was too early for "konnichiwa" then… The next day at exactly the same time: Me: Tanaka-san, ohayou! Tanaka-san: aa, konnichiwa! Me: ...
Where I worked, the more senior the manager, the shorter the version of ohayo gozaimasu that you would hear -- all the way down to just a trailing off "ss" sound. There is really an art to it.
Not really... its a opinion thing though. Her japanese just simply sounds wrong 99% of the time , nothing more or less and nothing related to any other asian languages.
I'm going to be studying Japanese at university for my international studies course so i love these videos, I'm already learning so many little things without even knowing the language
I think this would be a fun series, evaluating people’s Japanese. I know I enjoy watching a girl assess UA-camr and celebrities speaking mandarin. You can always learn from mistakes 🙃
What a great way of teaching a language. I really started to love Japanese after watching your videos and I'm also learning from the lessons you're sending to me. Thank you for your help ❤️❤️❤️
Your explanations and examples are so good! Thank you for clarifying these matters in pronounciation and the nuances in usage of certain words/phrases!
Her pronunciation seems pretty good for a beginner! I'm not particularly a fan of hers but have nothing against her either, so I'd say I'm not biased, and I feel like in comparison with other Americans, she manages to capture Japanese intonation much better than many of her compatriots. You can tell she's making an effort.
My thoughts exactly. I imagine it's easier for her (than most Americans) to hear anything and repeat it with nearly the same phonemics, pitch, accent, etc.
I've learnt the word in school studying about poems because they use that when analyzing the poems, too. (Btw, not in an English or Japanese speaking class.)
@@stereotypicalLame thats right, mora is a latin word since latin also had a mora timed system instead of a stress or syllable timed one. Greek presents the same phenomenon, although as is the case in all these languages, for different reasons.
Hello sir, thank you so much for your free Japanese lessons/tutorials! I would be proud to say that I learned Japanese just by watching your videos when I'm finally good at it. Gracias!
I just want to say, I found this video purely at random, but your explanation of moras and properly saying Konnichiwa was actually really helpful, and something I hadn't grasped before. So thanks for teaching me something, and being entertaining at the same time.
Some golden nuggets in this video. I was going to comment about how Arianna speaks like she is giving very little effort, but then Yuta gave a correction that also applied to me... *surprised pikachu face*
Thank you for the excellent insights into the pronunciation of day-to-day Japanese- these simply aren't taught formally and are priceless! Ariana does very well, though like all of us, needs improvement. Using Ariana's efforts as an example is not a criticism but a great learning experience.
Yuta seriously thanks for this tip. I'm learning Japanese and was making the tempo mistake that you were highlighting too. It seems so obvious now that someone brought it to my attention, however I have not yet seen it mentioned in the book's I am studying.
I didn't want to learn Japanese until I saw this video. I enjoyed every second of it. I like your way of correcting her, and your acceptance. Very professional and constructive, but with a few pinches of humour. I like Ari's effort. Learning a language is hard work. Especially a language like Japanese. And I felt that too, when she said "I love you".
hey ; thats really awesome to see so many people tryna learn japanese !GANBATTE KUDASAI [all d best] by d way , i also teach japanese at my channel [i'm a starter all though] HOPE IT HELPS ;
@blue chimera We use A, O, U, Ä, Ö, and Ü. They all sound differently. "Kuh" (cow) for example is pronounced like "cool" without the L or クー, whereas the plural is "Kühe" where the Ü sounds similar to (I might be wrong) an Australian "you" without the Y or the last sound of "ew". I hope I didn't make this too complicated...
Thank you for teaching about mora. I always felt like there was something missing in how some people pronounced Japanese words, and others stressed them more. Today I found out it wasn't tonal stress, but in fact completely missing letters. The English habit of merging two letters when they're found together doesn't work very well in Japanese.
Yuta-san is informative in an easy-to-listen-to way. One aspect of that, his English is very convincing. Not just word usage and grammar, but also body language, self-presentation. His singularity makes one appreciate what a big linguistic and cultural gulf it is, and also makes me reflect on how weird and awkward most of us must sound when we speak Japanese. The difficulty works both ways.
