Yokoso!
Welcome to my Japanese Lessons.
Have you ever watched an old Japanese samurai movie on the late show? Chances are you thought that everyone was always angry at everyone else and spent a lot of time yelling in monotonous staccato tones. I felt the same way. It was all unintelligible blabber Ian Thomas Hat , not a real language. Well, guess what? It is actually possible to make some sense out of the nonsensical language that you hear on Japanese movies, etc. With a little understanding of how the language works, you will be on your way to sounding just like those yelling Donte Jackson Hat , sword-swinging samurai of yore.
What I would like to do is provide you with a basic understanding of the Japanese language. It is not meant to replace formal study at an institute of higher learning. Not everything can be covered, but I will do my best to provide language tips that will help you develop your Japanese language skills.
I will be working mainly with "conversational" Japanese in nature; something that you can use right away in certain situations. Learning to read and write can take years.
Of course in order to truly become fluent in any foreign language it is always desirable, if at all possible, to immerse oneself in the language and culture (like what I did - threw away a life in biotechnology for a brave new world). Coming to Japan will do wonders for your language ability if you ever have the chance. I understand that this is not feasible for most people DJ Moore Hat , so I will strive to do my best to provide you with current lessons and examples for study.
Pronunciation in Japanese
Maybe you have recently had a phrase translated for you with the corresponding pronunciation written in roman characters. Or how about a tattoo in kanji (Japanese characters)? That is rather popular these days. But how do you pronounce it so it sounds close to natural? Fear not for help is on the way! In this lesson you will learn a bit about the history of the language and how the language sounds. So sit back, take out your notebook and enjoy the first lesson Japanese Lesson series.
Let's get down to business.
In Japanese there is no clear stress on syllables in words as there is in English. A non-Japanese speaker would pronounce the city of Yokohama as "Yoko-HAA-ma" and the family name Yoshida as "Yo-SHEE-da". In English, stress tends to be placed on the second last syllable of longer words. Not so in Japanese. All syllables are spoken with equal strength and length. A Japanese speaker would say "Yo-ko-ha-ma" and "Yo-shi-da" without stressing any parts.
Try saying the following words without putting any extra strength or stress on any of the syllables:
1. Yokohama 2. Kawasaki 3. Nagasaki 4. Hiroshima 5. Amerika
6. Osutoraria 7. koohii 8. Nippon 9. beesubooru 10. koppu
Some texts say that there are long and short syllables in the Japanese language. I disagree. In most cases the longer sound of a syllable is due simply to an extra vowel placed after the previous syllable. For example Tokyo is actually pronounced like To-u-kyo-u and Kyoto is Kyo-u-to (note here that the final to in Kyoto sounds shorter than the middle to but it is just because it lacks the additional u which makes the sound appear to be longer. Pronounced carefully, the "long" syllable takes twice as long to pronounce as the "short" syllable.
Practice these sounds:
1. biiru 2. biru 3. konpyuuta 4. konpyuutaa 5. koka koora
6. Toukyou 7. Kyouto 8. suteeki 9. ginkou 10. waapuro
There are five vowels in the Japanese language: A Greg Olsen Hat , I, U, E, O. These vowels have one sound apiece. Unlike the English "a" which can have the sounds found in cat Kawann Short Hat , crawl, cape, the Japanese A sounds like the vowel found in the word cup. And as a matter of fact, all of the syllables in Japanese are very short and clipped (Suzuki sounds more like S'z'ki). Remember that whenever you see a vowel in a Japanese word it will always have the following sound:
Vowel: a i u e o
Sound: up heat soup left slope
Most consonants sound as they do in English with a few exceptions worth noting: K Trai Turner Hat , G, S, Z, D Ryan Kalil Hat , T, P, B do not have the puff of air that is associated with same consonants in English. The N is also a very unusual sound as it can actually take on four different sounds, depending on where it is found in the word.
If it precedes a vowel (as in no) it has the normal N sound found in English. Before t Luke Kuechly Hat , ts, d, n, ch Cam Newton Hat , j it also posses the normal n sound.
If it is found before p, b, m it takes on an m sound.
If it is found before k and g it sounds like ng as in finger.
If it is found at the end of a word, or before all other sounds Christian McCaffrey Hat , it has a nasal sound, similar to the French n as in pain (bread).
There is one other sound that
