How to speak Kansai dialect.

[ulfy01]

I really, really have to focus to hear Kansai ben. Which is strange, given that I watch ガキの使い all the time. Good lesson! :)

[mizugawa]

へん？へんですか？へんですよね。。。　（^__~ )

Btw can you speak English with that cute Kansai accent?

[SaitoHadzime]

horsemouth

[xxMia01123]

@SaitoHadzime rude bastard

[24okay]

Glad I subscribed. I feel bad because I made best friends with my Japanese teacher, but at the same time I failed her class because I had to work at lot. LOL But we mostly speak English, as I would feel funny to continue having her teach me, seeing as I failed. So I learn from you and use with her. LOL

[pereztaastic]

cool

[campeau29]

Drop the background noise, it's not helping your video or your students.

[Kavirako]

I couldn't hear her parents ): Kansai is definitely different than the way I've grown up with, but my family is from Tokyo and Nagoya so that would make sense

[Cyrus150]

very interesting!

[X1OAFREED0M]

I think it is really cool that you have videos about Kansai dialect. Please do more if you have the time :D

[TwilightsSerenity]

ｗｗ：Ｄこれはめっちゃおもろいねん！うちは大阪にすんでたから­、大阪弁ならった！関西弁がいいやな！

[EToastE]

Omg it's so different! It's like learning Japanese all olver again...

[sasha01198]

these are really great! hope you post more Kansai dialect videos soon!

[Glory2theLamb11]

I wish people in America better understood dialects. Americans are so arrogant and elitests. Most think if you don't speak like them you are wrong, instead of accepting a different dialect of the same language.

[TubaBuddha]

Very interesting. Boy are your lips shinny!

[Cachorrinho1907]

Hahaha, you got this look on your face like "Oh my good how the hell do I explain this to these morons so they can understand it???" ;). But nice video, arigato!

[wellbeing9]

I think your mother asked ....what did you buy at kobayashi? I think you said "I didn't go...I just went to look bird of paradise flowers".

Then your father said "this is just a picture!"?

"this is not a picture this is for Youtube? (or something like that). Then there was something about IMAX? I don't know. I think I need to study more!

[TheLollipopAhh]

omg, I love those accent, it's the accent from LoveCom :D ... right ? xD

[pillsbery]

kawaii...

@Narutosunny: (Part 1 of 4) First of all, THUMBS UP for this VDO clip by ThatJapaneseGirl. Anyway, in response to your queries; speaking from the relatively more traditional Kansai-language “user’s” point of view, it truly depends. To make it brief, e.g. if you just write the word, “IKAN,” I would assume you’re indirectly conveying your disapproval towards something in question. In the hillbilly version (the Eastern/Kantou one), in this sense, people say “DA-ME,”. . .

[MoteYAMATOSHI]

@Narutosunny: (Part 2 of 4) . . . “DA-ME,” which sounds rude and vulgar to my ears. “IKAHEN,” on the other hand, means that someone tends not to go, etc. Both “IKAN” and “IKAHEN” denotes the PLAIN form, yet relatively sounding friendlier, etc. under those circumstances. Kansai LANGUAGE most likely has been communicated ever since the dawn of Japan -- to draw you a clear pic. – even before the naissance of Jesus Christ (?). . .

[MoteYAMATOSHI]

@Narutosunny: (Part 3 of 4) . . . Nuances unique to her (the elegant Kansai language) could be found, that which, understandably, might NOT be so as in Kantou dialect, including the Tokyoite one (the standard variety, also possibly heavily influenced by the Kansai language, has been originated from the which had been spoken ONLY by the high-classed people in Tokyo. . .). BTW, the word “NAI” has always been enjoyed in KANSAI region as well; and usually, (except in the standard variety). . .

[MoteYAMATOSHI]

@Narutosunny: (Part 4 of 4) . . . variety) in Kantou dialects the word “NAI” is pronounced as “NEE” -- which sounds very vulgar to my ears. But that’s another story. . . Historically speaking, if I’m not mistaken, the word “NAI” itself has always been pronounced, usually, so as “NAI,” in both KANSAI region and TOKYO (EDO), while the rest of Kantou region just went, “NEE”. . . I hope this helps. (Pls. challenge in case of errors found.)

[narutosunny]

I'm kind of confused. I heard that instead of "ika-hen" "ikan" would be correct. Which one is right??

[LosBats]

Kansai dialect negative form is similar style to Australian english we describe things by how it "isn't".............not how it is, it comes off as sarcastic sometimes to those people that aren't use to it.

[tobco79]

Sod negative form.. Just talk normally

[jajohdatkanbest]

so-na-i-ka-hen-wa? 2:11

[jazdj04]

lololol at boo boo X @ 1:15

[animegoddess98]

makes me wonder what dialect I'd pick up in Fukuoka..

[erumisa]

I think I was only able to understand last part when you said something was goood, or something like that @.@...

かんさいべんはちょっとむずかしです（う。う）；。。。でもめっ­ちゃめっちゃつき (^_^) だからがんばります！

[Chykara]

thanks for the lesson. very helpful!

[likevitani]

It would be amazing with a translation on the ending phone call.. :)

[asyoulikeitvideos]

I always think I'm doing alright at studying Japanese, then I hear a native speaker speaking normally and I'm like "fml. I'm never going to be able to understand all that..."

[SuperSaturn5]

@asyoulikeitvideos lmao I'm studying Japanese too and I feel exactly that way

[Expresso98]

@asyoulikeitvideos I do SO agree!! It does get easier.. but it often feels at a frustratingly slow pace! がんばってね!!

[kaizer3000jp]

for a japanese girl, you do speak pretty fluent english..have you studied abroad before?

[spike378]

@kaizer3000jp lol is this some sort of a pickup line

[thatjapanesegirl]

@kaizer3000jp I wanted to study abroad, but I couldn't. I've never lived abroad.

[kaizer3000jp]

@thatjapanesegirl WOW...how did you learn to speak such fluent English then? o.0

I've watched several japanese talk shows, many cant even pronounce english clearly (they are using katagana to pronounce them i understand..)...example LOVE is pronounced as "ra-bu" in japanese.

[qendu]

you new hair styles you, like it ^^

[Miyuuchyan2010]

You should be a Japanese teacher in America.

[TFCHooligan69]

Hot for teacher! ;-) Thank you for these lessons. Always great.

[KataVideo]

Yay! More Kansai-ben onegai shimasu!

[fomiz]

[thatjapanesegirl]

@fomiz What what?

[fomiz]

@thatjapanesegirl ?

[jazzclarinet2006]

Great lesson! (^_^)

[ZatChitAnanda]

Oh my God you look soooooo Gorgeous..!!!!!!

[ciccarello]

[MrWillager]

I like toyko dialect better :P

[wetluv4]

As Van Halen sais.... HOT FOR TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!

[RaimiiChan]

[sithia45]

[yuichituba]

[furstenfeldbruck]

[yoshimasa4869]

[BloodFalcon2k7]

関西弁メッチャすきやで！！　おもろいとおもわへん？　I really like お笑い芸人, so I have picked up a little bit of Kansai-ben. Some of the kansai-ben I could pick out in the video:　ええわ　＝　いいわ　、　見れるはずやで　＝　見れるはずだよ　、　なんやっけ　＝　なんだっけ

[louis345]

you've have beautiful lips

[goshinbi44]

can you turn down the music a little, it's a bit hard to concentrate on your lesson ^^; Thanks for the video, it was really informative.

[blondecrazygaijin]

子供時代けっこ関西に行っていたけど最近行っていない　；_；　凄く綺麗ですね、やっぱ！　レッソン有り難うございました。。！　^_^

[CubeCubesen]

oh, and one more thing.

I've watched an anime a while ago and there they used じゃねぇ is that also an dialect form of じゃない?

[5661Cho]

@CubeCubesen

many boys say "Uso ja neee yo!" instead of "uso ja nai yo!" .. perhaps others do too, but it sounds kinda ruff.

as far as i know it's only colloquial :)

[CubeCubesen]

good video!

great background music, great lesson and today your hair looks great as well. :)

That's defenitly worth a thump up I think. ^^

And as to the end, if I'm not mistaken you told your parents that you are totally in love with an you tuber called CubeCubesen. :D

[bakagajin]

I couldn't concentrate on the lesson, teacher too pretty.

[lslewis]

@bakagajin Yeah, I hate it when the teacher's too pretty...makes lesson harder lol =-p.

[GengoNoTabi]

Your background music has lyrics. I can't even bear to listen....sorry.

[thatjapanesegirl]

@GengoNoTabi Sorry. That was the first try. So I'll use music without lyrics next time. Thank you for the feedback.

[GengoNoTabi]

@thatjapanesegirl I could have worded that more nicely. Please excuse me. :  )

[wingwaabuddha]

pretty today, and Kyoto is the best, just saying

[Nemesis093781]

Thank you for the video.

[lslewis]

So informative and really excellent idea at the end to film yourself talking to your parents.

[Nimzowitz]

I couldn't understand anything :D Then again, I don't understand much from Tokyo dialect either.

[joshuarawr]

Yay I love kansai dialect videos :)) TJG <3 The last part was funny too thanks for sharing ^_^

[socratess55551]

another way to say it in 関西弁　is instead of 分からへん　分からん　でしょう？

[AntoneX6]

Nice video you must be using a nice camera ^ ~ ^

[PimpyMcHoSmack]

Great video and very informative! Can you tell me which dialect is used over in the Okinawa area? I'm being stationed over there early next year and want to learn to speak properly while I'm living there.

[Picmeo]

日本語勉強する学校に関西から来た先生がいる。他の先生とぜんぜ­ん違う。とってもにぎやかなんだ、ははは。関西人はそんな人だと­聞いたことあるけど、本当ですか？

[thatjapanesegirl]

@Picmeo 本当です。

[abdullahazaz]

I am Happy that I have watched enough Gaki no tsukai,　ガキの使いやあらへんで for more than 3 years that i can understand most of Kansai-Ben LOL :D:D:D

[konakona444]

More Kansai-ben ~!!!

[benitofinito]

Your phone is invisable when it's in front of your shirt.

[jmilco]

It almost seems like a completely different language. This is a bit too advanced for my level, but it is useful to be aware of these differences.

I like your clothes in this video. It matches your phone case ^^

[thatjapanesegirl]

@jmilco Thank you for the comment. My videos are not lessons. I just want to show people different dialects. I thought that it might be interesting.

[310BPM]

@jmilco

it really isn't that advanced..

and i've only been studying for a few months.

just keep listening to and reading japanese everyday.

it helps! :3

[DeepSolidHeart]

Konichiwa, i have been subscribed to your channel for awhile, but i haven't seen them lately untill this, and im glad to watch your videos , i am taking standard nihongo language course and its been 15 days so far. and i will keep on learning from you nevertheless because i got a new dialect called kansai , arigato gozaimasu, sayonara sensei

[iBundangbear]

[ralph2046]

[puke13]

[kantishna39]

Are there different dialects within the Kansai area? I always here Osaka-ben. Are they the same?

[thatjapanesegirl]

@kantishna39 Well, there are small differences. Osaka ben is the most common Kansai dialect. Kyoto be is a bit different.

[1tigerblood]
