you know how bad his pronunciation was. I’m not saying this to criticize him since I still find that the video is good at teaching the sentence structure

Koichi is indeed pretty good. He actually had a free lecture yesterday that was really good.

And yeah, karaoke and sake are two very common ones... also people that pick up japanese from anime often pronounce kawaii [is cute] as kowaii [is scary] which makes it particularly funny.

I saw that Koichi is starting to do vids on EduFire. From what I've seen of his stuff on YouTube, he seems really good.

I think my two biggest pet peeves are people that mispronounce "karaoke" and "sake". One of my American co-workers asked a friend if she wanted to go out and do "care-ee-oh-key" once, and she had no idea what he was talking about.

haha, that was my initial reaction...

it took me hours to decide to finally install the application and just face it. =S

i'm scared but at the same time excited to find out the results sometime later in the week or in a couple of weeks.

i definitely spend more time in other things like, mail, ichat, browsing the internet, etc.
i'll look at how much time i actually spend in these things at the end of the week.

I can't disagree with you. There are many good tutors and a great community, however, it's good to keep an eye open.

I have found that edufire is a great place to learn and they offer plenty of wonderful tutors.

UPRM is a well respected campus and I'm sure you face many similar situations I do. But well, we just have to work on it and make the best out of our time.

It's rough though...

I agree 100%. I watched the videos mentioned in this post, and then I had to cleanse my brain and just speak Japanese with a normal pronunciation to take the wrong pronunciation off my head! 困るね。

Re: Japanese Pronunciation Gone Wrong

Tofugu_Erin — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:15:36 -0000

It definitely is important to find tutors who know what they're talking about. If you learn pronunciation incorrectly, it's really hard to change in the future!

i know that the uprm is not the best when it comes to undergraduate institutions, but i found that i share a lot of your concerns and must do something about it, is good to know that i am not the only one with this kind of situations... and i am 100% with you that croem was not the most challenging, hard working school

I just saw your blog, haha!
I am very very happy with my iPhone indeed. I carry it everywhere I go, of course... and I love having it. =)

I also love my iMac, just saying.

You have an iPhone? Ugh...I'm SO jealous!!! I love *everything* mac-ish.

aww, you still got a year though!
and i don't know about the whole 'being more self-aware'. i really had to talk about this before really making a decision... friends really made a difference =)

is good to know that not having a 'wow' GPA is not an application killer. thanks ally.

Thanks a lot Cecilia. It is indeed good to come to terms with our limits. =)
And about 302 studying, yeah, it's been happening.
