- Watching a Japanese Movie Today I watched a Japanese film, Aruitemo Aruitemo (in English, Still Walking). This film depicts Japanese families who get together in their elderly father's house on the anniversary of his son's death. Three families appear in this film, the first is a family of second-eldest brother, who seems to be a main character, his wife who is remarried, and her child by a former marriage, the second is a couple of his elderly father and mother, and the third is his sister's family. The family in this film appears to me to be such a typical Japanese one of late date. This film makes me feel I would become like the main character before long.September 3, 201100
- 私が習ったのは、「s」のような摩擦音は、英語では日本語よりも強く発音されるとのことで、 空気が口から漏れる音が聞こえないと、聞き取れない人もいると教えられました。 個人的な解釈ですが、子音と母音の組み合わせの時、日本語の場合は母音が強くて、「かさたなはまやらわ」をはっきり発音すると、すべて「あ」の大きく開いたくちびるになり、子音の口の後、母音の口がはっきり形成されるように思います。それに対して英語の場合は、子音が日本語よりもだいぶ強くて、子音の口のまま、母音の口にならず、口の中で母音を作っているのではと思うのですが、はっきりとは分かりません。0 votedSeptember 3, 20111
