Exactly Japanese people probably would be able to tell from the context what you mean, if you get the accent wrong but I can imagine it can also cause confusion and misunderstanding For example if they ask: 嫌なことはある? And you want to say: 花が嫌いんだよ… but you pronounce it like 鼻が嫌いんだよ
What I also find funny is this:
鼻をかむ
は↑なを↓か↑む
blow nose
but you pronounce it like
は↑な↓を↑か↓む
it becomes
花を噛む
chew flower
It's ok we all go through that phase where we hate noses
Oh yea I was gonna ask how did the next lesson with your teacher go?
Oh thank you for asking It was good! I was able to say more this time! Firstly she asked me some questions and I did a proper 自己紹介 then, as I already said we did 音読, firstly my teacher read out the text, then it was my turn, then she split the text in very short parts and I had to read out after her right after every part, then she read the small parts again and I had to repeat but without seeing the text!
Hey that's awesome! I don't think I could do a 自己紹介 I'd be too nervous haha, so props for being able to do it! The 音読 thing sounds like it would be really difficult but that sounds like it's a good thing to do though plus it sounds like you aced the lesson too right! Maybe I should get a tutor or language exchange partner if it's going good with you, does it feel like it's helping you learn a lot faster than if you did it by yourself?
I was very nervous at the trial lesson but this time I wasn't too nervous! I used to have online lessons for Georgian for years so I'm used to it Yes, I really like the 音読 exercise! It was just my second lesson so I can't really tell you if I'm improving faster, but it does motivate me to learn more! For example, I practiced 自己紹介 before the lesson! My main reason why I chose to get a teacher is because I want to improve my speaking skills but I also want to learn some new things here and there later I also plan to learn and practice grammar with my teacher which I really need so it will definitely help me a lot
The good thing is I can tell my teacher what I want to practice and she will do it with me I should collect the things I need to practice
Dang you've done a lot of languages I wanna be like you and be able to do that too ;w; I wanna learn Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese but I think I learn too slow. Teach me the ways of learning a lot of languages at once 卵パン先生!! Plus that's so awesome that you can ask her and practice whatever you want to work on! What kind of things are you trying to improve on lately, out of curiosity?
Sorry for the late response!
No no, I haven't done many languages Georgian is with German my mother tongue, but because I live outside of Georgia, my mom let me and my sister have online lessons so we would get better at grammar and other things And since 7th grade im learning french at school so I'm basically forced to learn two languages at once but I concentrate much more on japanese even though I would also like to improve my french... I wanted to talk to my family's french friends when they'll come in January but I think that's not possible Yesterday I chose anime over French Learning two languages at once is difficult if you don't have much time but it is possible if the two languages are completely different. I would absolutely not recommend to learn Chinese and Japanese at once Lately I'm trying to improve... well, speaking obviously aaand my pronunciation! I've also been taking some tests on the site "Japanese test 4 you" to look how well I can do for example the reading comprehension for the different JLPTs
This week I will take 30-40 minutes per day for french to look how well it goes
I could not imagine learning another language at this point I've dedicated too much to learning Japanese, so if I tried to put that much dedication to a different language I'd burn out almost immediately I almost want to look into Korean so I can learn how to pronounce character names but that's it
Yeah, it's better to focus one one language, two can get exhausting I don't understand the people who learn 3 or more labguages at once! How is that possible?!
If I'm actually gonna follow this plan that is another question I tried to do it with japanese but I failed
