About
This program is designed to help you speak natural Japanese with confidence and ease. There are two sections; 1. Fluent Talks 2. The Feedback for Pronunciation Challenge 1. In Fluent Talks, we use real-life situations like introducing yourself, dining at a restaurant, going to the hospital, and more while focusing on three crucial aspects of natural speech: pronunciation, vocabulary, and natural expressions. Pronunciation includes rhythm, pitch accent, and intonation, all of which are essential for sounding natural in Japanese. Each lesson introduces key words and phrases needed for various situations, along with their pitch accent and intonation. It's important to note that some expressions commonly used in English aren't natural in Japanese conversations. For example, you might greet a friend with "How was your morning?", but in Japanese, we don’t ask this. Similarly, saying "I love you" when hanging up the phone is not typical in daily Japanese conversations. Using the right expressions is key to sounding natural. You'll learn all of this through Fluent Talks! 2. In this subscription course, you can also join the Pronunciation Challenge, held every month. I'll provide sentences with key learning points for you to read aloud, record, and upload. Then, I'll give you feedback via video. Watching feedback for other participants will help you improve too!
