For Absolute Beginners

Listening test!

This is Mr. Watt, who appears in Minna no Nihongo. Can you pronounce his name correctly?
It’s Watt — not “Waa-to.”　わ and small つ, and と　ワット

This pronunciation is very important. Many students pronounce it without properly stopping the sound. Even if you don’t pronounce “Mr. Watt” perfectly, people can usually understand you. However, later on, you will encounter many similar words in the vocabulary, such as “kite,” “kitte,” “kaite,” and “katte.”

If you don’t handle this small tsu correctly, even Japanese people can often get confused.

Please try pronouncing it once: “Watt-san.”
Don’t forcefully stop your breath using your stomach, and don’t stop the air inside your mouth either. If you do, you’ll definitely end up saying “Waa-to-san” again. Use your throat, stomach, and nostril evenly. It’s “Watt-san.”

OK, that’s all for today.
Do your best with your studies! Bye!
