Pronunciation
Hear real native speakers and ace your enunciation.
There are some subtle and important differences on how Japanese is spoken or transliterated versus English. The benefit is there are only 48 sounds in Japanese versus over 10,000 in English. Think of '-ough' alone depending where it is in a sentence! Learn pronunciation properly using our audio samples from native speakers.
