How to master Japanese intonation

Hello, I am also a Japanese major, and the intonation is called ァクセント in our vocabulary.

1. In terms of words, this thing is irregular, but the vocabulary of textbooks is generally marked with pronunciation. That is, circled 1, 2, 3, 4. This can only be achieved by memory and accumulation. Every time you learn a word, you should remember his "ァクセント" and lay a good foundation. It's not difficult. Language is a cumulative process. In the future, I will take the 1 grade and recite the 10000 entry. This number indicates which pen name the stress is in.

2. General vocabulary is irregular, but loanwords are regular, except for the etymological pronunciation of loanwords. When you can't master them, loanwords with three or more syllables stress the penultimate syllable. There are fewer monosyllables and disyllables, which is best remembered.

Generally speaking, Japanese is ambiguous, not only in sense, but also in pronunciation, especially for girls. Simply put, don't speak Japanese with your mouth open. Japanese pronunciation is gentle and peaceful. There is no exaggerated accent like English. Round sounds don't have to be too round, and unvoiced sounds won't make people hear the sound of airflow. This requires long-term practice. Listening more and speaking more is an unchangeable rule for language learners.

I hope I can help you.
