Hi, I'm Yukina Kita, your tutor! I'm a singer-songwriter who performs live, gives singing and speaking lessons, does video streaming, and I generally "work with my voice".


I sing a lot in English, and I thought I was confident in my English pronunciation, but my own English teacher said: "Your pronunciation is a little off." Then I decided to ask my English teacher to teach me on how to pronounce English correctly. In the process, I discovered the difference in the sound of the voice and the use of the tongue between Japanese speakers and those of other languages.


People who speak languages other than Japanese, such as English and Chinese, have different places to make their voices sound and use their tongues differently. By understanding them in detail, you can easily improve your Japanese pronunciation!



Please come to the seminar and learn how Japanese pronunciation works!

Curriculum

▼ Words that are inevitably difficult to hear and pronounce

  • In this seminar, I will provide a thorough explanation of words that are difficult for non-native speakers to hear and pronounce!
  • For example, in English pronunciation, there is no change in meaning by extending the vowel of "ki" as in "come" and "listen".
  • Therefore, you may not be able to hear correctly when someone says, "Listen to me for a moment.
  • In this seminar, I will explain how these are pronounced and what they sound like!
  • If you want to take your Japanese to the next level, this is definitely something you don't want to miss!

▼ Where the voice resonates is very important

  • When pronouncing a word correctly, it is very important to know where the voice is resonating.
  • In addition, the way you open your mouth and use your tongue at that time greatly affects your pronunciation.
  • To achieve correct pronunciation, it is necessary to understand these factors accurately, but it is difficult to find someone who can guide you to the finer points of pronunciation.
  • In this seminar, a voice professional will thoroughly explain how to use your lips and tongue and how to make your voice resonate!
