Wow, IM impressed, Gakuranman beacause I find your accent so natural and sounding just like a native Japanese. You've got sensitive ears, congrats! Have you live in JApan for a long time?

[thegakuranman]

@ivresseO Thanks! I've lived in Japan for a total of around 3 years now :)

[UKNihonNickUK]

I met ryoskei this year haha! I had dinner with him lol

[inakamono31]

I'm teaching Spanish to people from Osaka, I like to surprise them with some Kansai ben from time to time... I'll use those sentences !!!

Loooool

Greatings from Barcelona (Spain)

[ikachanusa]

It was sooo interesting watching this vid.

えろう　おもろかったで～ｗ

I'm Japanese, but I have never had a chance to learn it.

( I understand what Osaka people says though.)

You guys are like 日米 manzai ge~nin! LOL

Thanks for sharing this vid!　ありがとーなー（おおきに～）！

[DuckHeadlolz]

is どついたろか strictly a kansai thing i wonder?

[thegakuranman]

Hmm... Good question. I'm not sure myself, although I haven't heard it being used outside of manzai comedic groups, so either way it's not Japanese that you want to be using often ;)

[pinkyLING1]

wow!

[lessdone]

Do be careful with Kansaiben. Working in a corporate environment for a long time in the US among Kansai co-workers who generally use hyojungo as well, my own hyojungo slips into a Kansai accent from time to time without my realizing. People think I've just been in the US too long and my Kansaiben is off, not a Japanese American. Awkward. Not really acceptable in a hyojungo business environment if you can't use both properly.

[katsu2705]

Obviously you have to bear in mind there are plenty of differences in the dialects even in Kansai -> Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Wakayama, Nara; all different from each other in their own right. Nice vid though!

[Psychomorgan]

I wanna learn kansai ben sense I was born in the south but thanks alot [= this video is really helpful

[lootrock]

@Psychomorgan haha you. I find you commenting on KAT-TUN vids and I see you here as well =P cool.

[Psychomorgan]

[liveD690]

Haha i kinda learnt all these kansai-ben while watching lovely complex anime and kanjani videos :D

[moncmon]

@liveD690 haha me too. LOL. i find it interesting

[today20080523]

How is kansai ben different from kanto?

i know some words are different, but does the accent differ a lot?

[sakuraga0ka]

おもしろかった＾＾

これから関西弁でしゃべろうかな（笑）

[seamonkeywater]

i heart your video. this is allowing me to grasp more casual speech! ^_^

[felnaris]

It sucks how all the schools here teach Tokyo-ben =[

[seamonkeywater]

yeah boo to "Standard" japanese. i totally bought books on osaka-ben on amazon japan etc. i like how osaka-ben sort of have a life to its dialect. not monotone. ya know?

[EdogawaConan1994]

The reason why schools teach Kantou-ben (it's not called Tokyo-ben -- Tokyo is in Kantou) is because Kantou-ben is "Standard" (as seamonkeywater said) Japanese. Kantou-ben is also more formal than Kansai-ben.

Kantou-ben is to "Standard" (or formal) English as Kansai-ben is to "Southern" English. Schools do not teach "Southern" English, they teach "Standard" English.

Hope this helps...

[iloverenee93]

i wanna learn kansai since im texan and used to bein' southern ^w^

i like how unique it is

just like the word yall...but tons more :D

[methenium]

Same here. (About being Southern, I'm a Corkman.)

[Tsanalretentive]

Is yakamashii kansai? I've heard it from non-kansai, along with "urusei!"

[thegakuranman]

I don't think it is exclusive to Kansai, but it is used there a lot! :)

[pixanie]

Damn... you speak Japanese so fluently!! I'm almost jealous.. your Kansai friend can speak English equally well - I'm impressed (I was often told Japanese can't really speak English well ^^) How long have you guys learn each other's language, I wonder?

[thegakuranman]

Thanks for the comment! I've been studying Japanese about 7 years now and my friend Ryousuke has been studying English for about the same amount of time :)

[DookieMP3]

I subscribe to you because your videos are a great help with my Japanese. I thank you so much!

[DuckHeadlolz]

great video man, ほな - is that kansai? i've never heard this before

[mocchy3]

yeah, ほな equals じゃあ(Jaa). ほなな＝じゃあな＝See you

[adeptdvlpmnts]

Love the dialogue, your guys tone is awesome. Thanks for posting!

[sitr0803]

「どないやねん」「やかましわ」「なんでやねん」「どついたろか­」などつっこみ言葉ですよね。

そのままを標準語にして、使ったらとんでもない事になります（笑

言語の違いもありますが、文化の違いもポイントですね。

ボケ＆ツッコミを基本とする関西しゃべくり文化を理解しないと、­海外の方は只の乱暴言葉と勘違いしてしまうかも（笑

[thegakuranman]

コメントありがとうございます！

確かにそうですよね。関西の文化への理解も大事ですね。そのとこ­ろはビデオでちょっとしか触れていなかったけど、今度「ボケ」と­「ツッコミ」のことについてを話そうかな＾＾
