Unlearning Japanese - Real Real Japan #11

A video where Sugi roasts English language like this would be a massive hit

Sugi's English is in fact "many many improvement"

Need •not-why-memorize• and •same-same-but-different• stickers to glue them in a workbook😢😂

here's a basic summary of hiragana: a i u e o vowels: あいうえお k-line: かきくけこ s-line さしすせそ t-line: たちつてと n-line: なにぬねの h-line: はひふへほ m-line: まみむめも y-line: や ゆ よ r-line: らりるれろ w-line: わ を finally, n: ん (there's no vowel, it's just n) special cases: し isn't si, it's shi ち isn't ti, it's chi つ isn't tu, it's tsu ふ isn't hu, it's fu (however it's not an exact f sound, more of a mix between a gentle blow and an f sound, followed by an "u" sound へ is pronounced e when used as a particle (short grammatical word, this one is specifically the equivalent of the english word "to", as in "go *to* school") は is pronounced wa when used as a particle. を is pronounced as o in some dialects, here's why: in old Japanese, they used to have わ, ゐ, ゑ and を, being wa, wi, we and wo. but then there was a language change where they dropped the w from words. while わ was completely unaffected by the language change, but を only partially survived it. ゐ and ゑ were changed to i and e, though a bit after they were just swapped out for i and e, which is why they're used as wi and we are sometimes still wi and we instead of i and e. you can also use dakuten to make unvoiced sounds voiced. か (ka)→が (ga) k turns into g s → z t → d sh/ch → j ts → dz h/f → b u → vu there's also handakuten は (ha)→ぱ(pa) h/f → p you can also make や, ゆ and よ smaller (ゃ, ゅ andょ) and put them after sounds that end in i (き, し, ち, に etc.) to change the sound a bit み + ゃ = みゃ (mya) きゃ is a softer か, like in キャメロン し and ち don't turn into shya and chya, but rather sha and cha. つ can be small too, it lengthens the consonant sound of these guys かきくけこさしすせそたちつてと when going before them you can also lengthen vowel sounds by putting ー after them or the matching vowel letter, like ねえ, but you can also use い to lengthen e sounds and う to lengthen o sounds. hope this helps 😊

The whispering "mama" was funny for no reason

最近あなた方にハマってます。

REALLY REALLY appreciate the on-screen subtitles

I choked when Cameron said “brain damage” lmfao

Sugi and Cameron have the most wonderful on screen chemistry; what an amazing friendship and channel you two created. Seriously, I look forward to every time I see a new video of y’alls in my feed 🍻 cheers to your continued success!

I have memorized all the hiragana but I still need to learn katakana 😅
