I just wanted to let everyone know that the livestream that was scheduled for today at 4:00 PM Japanese time will be moved to tomorrow, as our babysitter had to reschedule for tomorrow instead. Again, the next livestream will be from 4:00 PM Japanese time, tomorrow October 18. Hope to see you all there!

I hope that this post finds you well. I just wanted to let everyone know that I've updated lessons 10, 14, and 17 with high-quality native recordings. The reason that some of the lessons in-between 10 and 17 have not been updated is because they cover pitch-accent in i-adjectives, and I'd like to re-do most of these lessons entirely as in recent years new, acceptable pronunciations for i-adjectives have become more mainstream.

Good afternoon Patrons! I hope that this post finds you well. A couple days ago I interviewed Yoichi Mukai, a trained Japanese linguist and faculty member in the Department of Modern Languages at Vancouver Island University. In this video, we discuss vocal-placement, fundamental frequency, hyper-correctness, and many other topics. I hope that everyone is able to learn from this interview! Thank you to Yoichi-san to lending us his valuable time and energy. Incidentally, Yoichi-san's qualificat...
