#3: Three Ways To Improve Your Confidence (Spanish)

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!

¡Bienvenidos a “Un Minuto en México”! Hoy viajamos al paraíso del Caribe: la Riviera Maya.

Este corredor turístico, ubicado en el estado de Quintana Roo, lo tiene todo: playas de arena blanca, aguas turquesa, historia maya y una vibrante vida cultural. Empezamos por Cancún, famoso por sus hoteles de lujo, su animada vida nocturna y sus impresionantes centros comerciales.

Un poco más al sur está Playa del Carmen, un destino que mezcla el ambiente cosmopolita con playas relajadas y la famosa Quinta Avenida, llena de restaurantes, tiendas y bares.

Seguimos hacia Tulum, donde las ruinas mayas se asoman al mar desde un acantilado. Es ideal para quienes buscan un turismo más bohemio, ecológico y espiritual.

La Riviera Maya es mucho más que sol y playa: es cultura, naturaleza y aventura. ¡Nos escuchamos en el próximo minuto!
