Japanese Phonetics Episode 58—now with native recordings! (Patreon)

Bibliography
Japanese Phonetics Index Page 

Good afternoon, Patrons!

The fifty-eighth episode of Japanese Phonetics is now updated with high-quality native recordings!

In this lesson we review and clarify some basic pitch-accent information, as well as look at a couple of effective pitch-accent exercises I’ve picked up since beginning this series. I did not include native recordings for the parts where I discuss some of the strategies since these strategies are targeted toward native speakers of English or other stress-accented languages. This part aside, remember to always use native recordings for your studies and any shadowing practice.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns with regards to this lesson, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below. Thank you very much for your continued support, and good luck with your Japanese studies!

Best from Beppu,
