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!

▼なぜ聞き取れないのか。
日本語でなんとなくコミュニケーションが取れるけど、どうしても聞き取りが苦手。だから何度も何度も日本語を聞いてみるけどわからない。
実はそんな人は発音が正しくできていないのです。自分の母国語にない発音はどうしても発音するのが難しく、聞き取ることも難しくなります。
実は聞き取る力をアップする一番の近道は「自分で正しく発音する」ことなのです。
正しい発音を身につけることで、グッと聞き取る力がアップします!

多くの生徒さんが苦手とするのが意外にもカタカナ言葉。例えば「internet」と「インターネット」。

日本人が話すようなカタカナ言葉を話すにはどうしたらいいのか、今回のセミナーではカタカナの言葉を正しく発音するためにはどうするかを詳しくお話しします!
