Ok so how many words do you need to know in order to be fluent in another language? It is not the amount of words you know, it is far from just being that. Take an amount of words like say 400 words. All nouns that you know in the foreign tongue, now considering these, what or who is to say that you can say anything in the foreign tongue. Less one not pronunciate right, what good is a word if one can’t use it?
So, its time you got back to work from your 11:00 afternoon tea time is over now at the black jack bar and grill sportsbar where your last drink was a stiff bloody mary. Your eyes are aglow with the embers of yesterday’s loft in the head. With me yet on this one. You don’t have to make me nothing to eat nor must you need think that it is a must to do anything for me than just be my friend. What more than this can be of any good. Grumpy and stiltkens, webkinz my 100 spot under lens goto my favorite sites and suck kaka for fun!
Tip #13 How to pronounce the tsu syllable in Japanese
From Learn Japanese Now!
By Makurasuki Sensei, Brett McCluskey
Of the 46 syllables in the Japanese syllabary, there are three that are mispronounced frequently by native English speakers. The focus of this mini lesson is on one of the more difficult syllables to pronounce in the Japanese Language, namely the tsu syllable. The way you go about conquering the pronunciation of words that contain tsu or begin or end with the syllable tsu requires a little cleverness, patience and of course consistent practice. The pronunciation is not that difficult but can be comprehended by using two English words to pluck out, if you will the pronunciation. Two English words that are elided together, like in the following phrase eight suits gives a close approximation of the sound of tsu in Japanese say the following out loud
eight suits, eight suits, eight suits, eight suits, eight suits, eight suits
Now say loud a couple more times and concentrate on the elision that occurs between the words eight and suits. Say it faster and faster until you can feel the tsu come out of eigh –tsu- its The correct or nearest equivalent that native English speakers of Japanese can get to saying the tsu syllable is taking the t from the eight and adding the su in the previous example. Practice with your newly acquired, authentic sounding, near native pronunciation, the following words containing tsu
Tsuitachi – 20th of the month
Tsuyuu – the rainy season
Itsu? – when?
Hachimitsu –honey
Itsutsu – 5 counter
Itsumo – always
Motsuaruto –mozart
Etc.
