Lesson 1: Japanese Pronunciation

[Great_Aku_Ha]

Japanese Pronunciation

The Japanese language has only 5 vowels: a, i, u, e, o. They are terse vowels, pronounced clearly and sharply. If one pronounces the vowels in the following sentence one will have their approximate sounds. Please note: the "u" is pronounced with no forward movement of the lips.

Ah (a), we (i) soon (u) get (e) old (o).

The pronounciation is the same as in Hungarian, only we got more vowels. That makes it so much easier for me.
