This is a very good video. There is one problem I do see though: During the picture with all the arrows, it's difficult to see what "hitai" and "odeko" are pointing to. If the hand wasn't on it, I think it would work better. Other than that, great video:)!
The Japanese people make the h sound in "hi" sort of like a hissing noise. They may sound the same, but the hissing noise sounds to made by putting the middle part of your 舌 to the roof of your 口. If you can do it and make the "shi" sound, then you could tell the difference. The words you can use for practice are Hito(ri) , and Wakarimashita. You can use other words that have the "hi" sound and the "shi" sound like hitomi (eyes), and shinu (to die).
The Japanese language has a broad view of homophones. Hana is both flower and nose, for replying to your comment. Hane is feather. For homophones in the Japanese language, you will have to know the common homophones and know when they are used depending on the context and situation.
I really appreciate all these videos! It's really helping me! Especially since the book I'm learning for Kanji gives both pronunciations, but doesn't specify which one is used more often.
I don't get it when it comes up with hitai but says shitai. :(
