Hiragana Pronunciation: Japanese Alphabet Syllabary

[sanethoughtspreader]

What's the difference between the two Ji's and the two zu's? I can't hear the difference. I mean chi and shi with '' and tsu and su with ''

[tokyoblaze]

@sanethoughtspreader There is no difference in the pronunciation. However, after the war, Japan changed it's "kanazukai" so ず and じ is more frequently used than づ and ぢ. However, there are some exceptions including names of places such as 会津若松（あいづわかまつ）.

Im learnimg on my own japanese and this video from all is very helpfull!! ありがとうございました!!

[EvnaOvni]

Sorry, I meant "westerners"...

[EvnaOvni]

I´m Latin American. I watched only 1minute and 34 seconds of this video and the only sound I was familiar with was "kaki", which is the same in my language (Portuguese).

I wonder if latin-derived words are as difficult for Japanese speakers as is the Japanese language to westerns...

[mikeikesan]

私は怖いです。The slow parts are scary.... 0_o..I concur with everybody else its a great video to learn ひらがな　（Hiragana) pronunciation.

[QOGFProd]

[Guardian016]

I heard that Japanese writing system is argurably the most complicated.

It's not really difficult, is it?

But if you are able to read these letters, Japanese people will say you are amazing!

[AvengerX13]

It is...I get confused when they mix up Hiragana and Kanji. Jeez very confusing it is.

[RusskogoYazyka]

Very nice footage, teaching how to pronounce hiragana. I must admit it is one of the best videos on you tube. Hope you earn lots of prizes and aknowledgements from this terrific video.

[Zhungarian2]

Oh folks, stop flattering me this way. It is only a simple video on hiragana, nothing more than that.

[FelipeMinhokinha3]

No kidding: What can I say about this amazing method? Unbelievebly delightful, you learn hiragana effortlessly. Please, send more videos! We are all anxiously waiting for the next one. Pleaaaaaaaaaseeeee!!!!!!

[BronhaMatinal]

I quite hate languages, but after seing this gorgeous video I made up my mind and will join a serious Japanese course. Thanx Zhungarian I am a new man today. Forget about all bronhas and sexual stuff. Now my hands are to write hiraganas, not to jerk the thick chap.

[BafoDeChucrute]

Very useful tool for those who are learning this most beatiful language which is Japanese. I think it is very original and post-modern. "ka-ki-ku-ke-ko" is something I would never forget if I had learned before.

[Asteristiko]

Wonderful approach I would say. Mr. Zhungarian has achieved the highest ground on teaching foreign languages. You are unbelieveble.

[KleberFlashback]

I am speechless! Like madonna, I am breathless! It is so easy to learn hiragana through this fucking instructive method that if I were a kamikaze I could died today and go straight to heaven. Keep on the good job.

[FebrabanBC]

Amazing introduction to Hiragana Syllabary. I was looking for such a footage! Could you provide the source film? I would like to buy it. I will pay whatever you ask. Please, contact me!

[Zekitcha3]

Fantastic! The best one I've ever come across down here! Best way to lear HIRAGANA and its proper pronunciation. I highly recommend!
