Good afternoon, Patrons!
How are your studies going? I wanted to let everyone know that I've finished uploading the lesson 12 ground-up remake. I decided to make this video after doing additional research, and because I wanted to create a single consolidated lesson that covers both the traditional vs. newer pronunciations. Spent a lot of time working on this—hope that everyone finds it useful!

Good evening Patrons!
In this lesson, we begin to explore pitch accent in i-adjectives, specifically in downstep i-adjectives.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns with regards to this lesson, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below. Than...

I hope that this post finds all of you well. I have updated two lessons with high-quality native recordings: Lesson 41 and lesson 42, both of which tackle some of the finer points of Japanese consonants. Lesson 41 addresses K and G, and 42 covers S, including し, which can be a somewhat difficult for native English speakers.
Good morning Patrons! I hope this post finds you all well. This is a bit sudden, but my mother in law came over and I've got a bit of time to work, so I decided to do a Patreon live-stream for all Patrons now that my daughters have officially started school. Note: Even if you aren't able to view this in real-time, I would suggest watching the video, as I intend on talking about the a few updates to my Patreon and Japanese Phonetics.
Good morning, Patrons!
I hope that everyone is having a good week. I just wanted to let you all know that I have updated two lessons with high quality native recordings: lesson 38, which covers useful tips on vowel pronunciation, and lesson 40, which talks about the object marker を.

I hope that this post finds you all well. I just wanted to let everyone know that I've updated lesson 36 with high-quality native recordings, and will finish uploading the updated version of lesson 37 tomorrow, March 24 (Japanese time). Just as a reminder, these lessons are part of the sub-series on the pronunciation of vowels, looking specifically at long vowels, the phenomenon of re-articulation, and vowel combinations.

Good morning, Patrons!
I hope that this post finds you well. I just wanted to let everyone know that I've updated three lessons with high-quality native recordings: Lessons 33, 33 follow-up, and 35. These depart a little from pitch-accent to focus on pronunciation including the phenomenon of devoicing and an introduction to Japanese vowels.
Good afternoon Patrons! In the above video, I talk about what the next month or so of releases on Patreon will look like, as well as how we'll start to incorporate grammar lessons as well after my kids start going to school in early April. If anyone has questions regards to the information in this video, feel free to leave a comment below!

I hope that this post finds you well. I just wanted to let everyone know that I've updated lessons 26 and 28 with high-quality native recordings. As a reminder, lesson 26 introduces terracing, while lesson 28 explores pitch-accent in question words and phrases, and covers some common phonetics mistakes native English speakers make when dealing with questions in Japanese.

I hope that this post finds you well. I just wanted to let everyone know that I've updated lessons 15 and 25 with high-quality native recordings. As a reminder, lesson 15 addresses pitch-accent for the さ form of な-adjectives, while lesson 25 begins to explore sentence-level pitch-accent.
