 Konnichiwa, Hawaii. Japanese language broadcast. Streaming live from downtown Honolulu. And available on YouTube. I'm your host, I'm sorry. Yukari Kunisui. I'm a little nervous today because I'll tell you a little bit later. But joining me today in the studio is Scott Perry or Scott Sensei, famous American English pronunciation coach. That's why. For Japanese natives. Hello, everyone. From downtown Honolulu, Zenkitek, Hawaii is available in Japanese. Hello, Hawaii. I'm your host, Yukari Kunisui. Today's broadcast is a world-famous Japanese English pronunciation coach. I'm going to talk to Scott Perry. So when I speak English, I'm very nervous. Thank you very much for your time, Scott Sensei. Thank you very much. It's my first time, but I'm honored to be here today. Actually, Scott Sensei is a guest for the first time in a Japanese language, who is not a Japanese person. I'm looking forward to it. It's right away, but the Japanese pronunciation for Japanese people is a force. What kind of opportunity did you start? That's right. When I was in college, I went to University of UCLA. UCLA? Then, I went to University of Los Angeles, California. At that time, it was just the beginning of the bubblegum. Everyone focused only on Japan, so it was all about economy, language, and culture. At that time, I helped Japanese international students like a teacher at home. I started by writing books, writing papers, and listening to music. That's how it all started. At that time, I was able to speak English. Did you come to Japan? After that, I started studying Japanese. Scott Sensei started studying Japanese? Yes. I studied Japanese for about two years, so I had a chance to go to Japan. What do you call it? A jet program? Yes, it's a program by a Japanese teacher who is studying Japanese. I went to Japan, and that's how it all started. Which country did you go to in Japan? Fumagayashi. It was in Saitama Prefecture. And then, I taught English there. Yes, I taught Chinese students there. I went to 6 schools in China, and I studied for a week or two. Oh, so you were a teacher who walked around two schools. There are a lot of people who can speak English in Japan. Not only the British and Americans, but there are also people from New Zealand and Australia. And among the people who teach English, Scott Sensei was focused on pronunciation. Why did you come to Japan instead of grammar and pronunciation? Good question. Thank you very much. It's a coincidence. It's a coincidence. One day, there was a Chinese school called Mishiri Middle School. It's a school in Kumagaya. There is a speech contest held by Scott Sensei and his students. Can you help us? It's okay, isn't it? Yes, yes. But he asked me for two hours a day. Huh? Yes. Oh, about a month. Oh, that's a little... You can take quite a long time, right? The students went there. The students said, Please, please. Yes, I'll do it. But I won't lose if I do it. I really didn't know how to do pronunciation at that time. Oh, you taught me. I was 23, 24 years old. But I did a directing course in Useless University for two years. Is directing acting? It's a movie directing. So, what is it? Blocking, putting out the voice, acting. I did that. I mixed it up and did it. So, acting is also like entering a little? Yes, it's necessary. Speaking is acting. I see. Actually. And the students studied hard every day. They worked hard, both of them. When I went to the speech contest, I won the first and second place at the school local. That's amazing. It was all thanks to you. I won the first place. And then I won the sixth place at the school. And then I won the first place at the Saitama Kumagai C. And then I won the second place at the Saitama Kumagai C. But I lost the first place at the Japan contest. But the reason is that... I went to America to study abroad. To study abroad? Yes, yes, yes. I lived there for 10 years and went home. It's the same as me. I see. We won the first place at the Saitama Kumagai C. But I went up to that point. Yes, yes, yes. If you're not a Japanese teacher, you'll probably be the first place. I see, I see. If you're interested in listening to this, if you want to learn English, if you want to speak English well, you'll want to be able to speak Japanese fluently. This is a university that the teacher teaches. It's not just about speaking. It's about listening. It's very important. It's a lesson to be taught. Where did you come from? How do you think about that? What? Listening? So it's not just about speaking. What's the basics of speaking? Well, it's connected. Listening is the next step in nature. If you don't listen well, you can't speak well. It's the opposite of that. It's hard to talk to people who don't know how to speak. That's right. It's connected. I see. It's not just about speaking. It's important to be able to listen. It's a lesson to be taught. It's about communication. I see. You've been teaching Japanese for a long time. Japanese people are good at grammar. Spending is good. But you can't talk to them. I think there's one thing about pronunciation. Do you think so? I think so. Where did you come from? Do you think it's been taught for a long time? What do you mean by that? What do you mean by that? That's right. After the contest, Japanese people can speak English. It's hard to speak. It's hard to speak. Other people can speak English. That's right. It's hard to speak. But how long have you been good at listening? I don't know. In my old school, for example, between 10 and 13 years old, the sound has been reduced. That's right. You can hear it. When the pronunciation is like this, you can't speak like American or English. But do you fix that in American English? Yes. If you can't see American people, you can't speak. You can't speak? I see. American. Japanese people can't speak. How long does it take to do that? Time? Yes. For example, you can take a class, or you can do a class with a teacher. The basics are there's a level system. The Japanese pronunciation is level 8. Level 8? Yes. It's from 1 to 10, right? Yes. The 10 is the best. This is a pen. More than that. This is a pen. It's basic. Good morning. My name is Scott. It's a very hot today. It's very hot. That's basic level 8. Today, it's 321. 321? If it's like that... It's almost native. That's right. It's native. It's native. It's native to 1. I see. In 321, for example, you can understand what it is in front of you. You can understand 100%, but it's not like Japanese. Yes. But if it's like that, it's very good. Everyone's problem is there's no number. Even if you speak, you can't understand about 60%. I see. The 8th place goes up. So, 5 or 3. How long does it take like this? It depends on the person. When you have a girlfriend, you only have a month. Yes. But you do it several times a week. Yes. You do it for hours. You can do it after a while. Yes. But if it's normal, you can do it once a week. Once a week. It takes about 5 months. It takes about 5 months. If it takes around a month, it takes about 8 to 3 months? It's about two or one month. Is it the same? It's about to become native. It's not the right thing, but it's easy to learn. Yes, it's easy to learn. Japanese sounds. It might be perfect English, but Japanese sounds. Does Japanese sound? Well, or it's not that low. Especially for women, it's a little higher, right? Yes, that's right. But in order to overcome that, the way to breathe is more smooth, the way to breathe is different, the way to voice is also different. That way, you won't be able to breathe. I see. The way to breathe, or the way to voice, this also has something to do with it. I forgot to tell you a little earlier, but Mr. Scott is in Los Angeles. He's a Japanese actor and a movie star. That kind of person has a lot of training. Do you go to Los Angeles at that time? Well, I go to the location where I watch the movies. Do you go there and get into the role of the actor? Well, first of all, I meet him online, meet him, level up, and when I'm doing a movie, I help out with the set. You don't have to go there, sometimes. You're busy, right? People don't come to Hawaii. Sometimes I do. You do? I try to... I do my best in the movie. I come to Hawaii to practice and audition. I see. Then I go there. I get the English accent first and then I go to audition. Are you good at English and Japanese actors? I'm not good at English, I'm good at acting. I'm looking for a character. This person, this age, this type. If I'm good at it, I choose. Japanese actors and actresses fight against Japanese people. Fight against Japanese people? It doesn't matter which one. I see. But if you're in English, Japanese people are native English. But you can do the same level. I see. If you go to a teacher's place, you can do it. Well, ADR after the movie, we fix the hats. Yes. After this break, I would like to continue to talk about how Japanese people speak English. I would like to continue to talk about how native English is. We're going to take a little break here. And I will be right back. Aloha. I'm Lauren Pear, a host here at Think Tech Hawaii, a digital media company serving the people of Hawaii.

We'd be grateful if you'd go to ThinkTechHawaii.com Thanks so much. Aloha. We're back from break. I am Yukari Kunisue, and this is Konnichiwa for Hawaii. I'm talking with Scott, American English pronunciation coach. I'm live. Konnichiwa, Japanese language program at Think Tech Hawaii. Today, I would like to continue to talk about the Japanese language teacher, Scott Perry, and Scott. I'm going to talk about Hollywood. Japanese people who watch movies are the ones who participate in the program. Can you tell us what kind of movie it is? Can you tell us? I can't tell you what kind of movie it is. In the past, there were many Japanese people in the program. There were many Japanese people in the program. In the program, there was a main character in Nakamura Shiro. I worked with him. In the program, there was a movie called Emperor. In the program, there was a specific character in the program. The main character in the program was Rinko Kikuchi. I see. How many weeks did you work with him? How many weeks? How many weeks? How many weeks? How many weeks? How many weeks? How many weeks? How many weeks? I see. So you worked with him in the program. In the program, you worked with him in the program. Were you in the program? Yes. I worked with him in the program. We had a lot of experiences in getting an I think it will improve if you live in America, but it's actually different. That's right. That's right. Even if you live in America, there are many people who don't improve. I'm good at it. No, no, it's okay. Does something actually change? It's like muscle training. Muscle memory. You train your muscles. Each of them has a shape that sounds like English. The way you talk. The way you breathe. Pressure. The shape of your lips. If that didn't happen, it wouldn't be possible. I see. Everyone, the English pronunciation sounds like Kintore. That's what I mean. It's not something that you think in your head. It's something that you talk about. That's how I came up with the technique. That's what you need to practice. That's right. I've been doing this technique for a long time, but it's a little bit... Other schools are also... They're really good at it. Mr. Scott, you're good at it? I'm good at it. That's right. You have to do it. It's impossible. I see. That's why everyone does their best. The result doesn't come out. The result doesn't come out if you want it. I see. Because your body doesn't change. Do you know how much your body changes? I do. I'm going to talk to you. I'll tell you. What are you going to say about turning points? How to use a magnifying glass. Magnifying glass? Yes. You elitist, opening your throat, abbreviating your mouth and nose, and then saying, different in terms of mouth and human nature. Really? The Japanese have a lot of different mouths. About 70 per cent in true evolution. The average person in a country has anligh difference of 80 per cent. 20 per cent? Oh, that's it? Yes. The Americans have a Healthcare. 息をベースに言った言葉。 息をベースに言った言葉。 日本語は音ベース。 駆き、駆き、駆ち、つって。 A, B, C, D, more air. なるほど。こういう、なんか、 目から今はブログが出て、音してしまったんですが。 日本語はメロディーのような感じということですね。 だけど英語を話すときは、 エアープレッシャーみたいな感じですか? もう一つ。だから、イギリスの人、 もう喋ったら間違いないイギリス人。 だけど、歌を歌うと完璧なアメリカ英語。 そういうことができるんですか? アメリカ人が全然、アメリカ人がわからないくらい。 イギリスの声、歌の声は Perfect American English. それができちゃうんですか?
