Memorizing Japanese Pronunciation and Words

Don't think you need to practice Japanese pronunciation once you start learning Japanese? The answer should be a yes. Why should you do that? Because the fundamental element in speaking one new language is pronunciation. Although you cannot speak as perfectly as the news announcer, you should speak it as standardly as a real Japanese. So pronunciation is something you have to stress all the time though it shouldn't be your focus always in your life. I think you need to memorize Japanese pronunciation.

How to do this job successfully? You have many accesses. Begin with the Japanese alphabet. Japanese with any other language has its own alphabet which includes Hiragana and Katakana. You have to read them one by one so that you will remember them all well in your brain. Don't try to follow your non-native Japanese teacher's pronunciation! Why? Probably they know so much grammar knowledge of Japanese, they cannot pronounce Japanese as a native speaker does, or even worse than that. Actually this is a tragedy. Whom should you follow? In my opinion you should buy some standard audio Japanese pronunciation books or using a software like Rosetta Stone Japanese and follow them to speak each Japanese word. Once you finish the Japanese alphabet, you can begin learning other things. The most approachable way a Japanese beginner is to read the short and simple Japanese articles slowly and carefully repetitively.

Another method for you practice your Japanese pronunciation is by speaking with others. Who are others? If you can go to Japan, that's the best choice. Then you can speak usually with the native Japanese. Certainly your Japanese speakers should be those who teach you Japanese or those students, for they are well-educated, their Japanese though is formal, their Japanese represent the standard way of spoken Japanese. So speak with them as often as you are concerned possible. Or if you cannot go there, go to the language college, where you will find the Japanese friends and you can speak with them often too. Actually try to slow down and make everything clear so that you can correctly practice your Japanese pronunciation. Or perhaps if you don't mind practicing this pronunciation with Rosetta Stone Japanese is also approachable, for this software offers you the most standard one for you to imitate. Yes, the narrator must be a Japanese expert, at least in pronunciation.

Next, what should you do? Learn Japanese words I estimate. Yes, you can pick up a Japanese textbook to read each morning when you are in state. Also you write down the Japanese words time after time too, for the repetition can benefit you on the other hand. Or you can get flashcards too. Taking them everywhere and you can learn more words than you think possible. But one of the most effective methods is to use Rosetta Stone Japanese, for this software teaches you to learn Japanese words in picture. Don't think pictures are always for your appreciation, now you can see them and learn Japanese!

Finally aside from the two important elements in Japanese, you should learn other things too. For instance, you have to learn how to make up a sentence with sensible grammar. You should practice speaking Japanese with the native Japanese so that your Japanese tongue will become smooth and your knowledge will become more profound. Besides, learn more things on Japanese culture.
