I've heard that some non-native speakers have trouble pronouncing つtsu.
I hope this video will help them.

What helped me is when I first pronounce つ long ago is saying Cat soup but remove the p and spell it as CA-TSOU and pronounce the end over sorry if it doesn’t make any sense I tried :P

This is cool! We borrow the word Tsunami in the US and I've always (unknowingly) pronounced it with the Tsu featured here even though others say it with a silent T (like Sue). Though I'm not actually sure which is the correct pronunciation in Japanese for Tsunami specifically since I'm not studying the language, still very interesting!

You can survive in Japan just with "Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu" "Otsukare samadeshita" and "Sumimasen"😁

In Slavic languages (Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian) there is Ц sound it is exactly つ without U :)

This makes me remember when I had problems pronouncing "綴る" when I was studying Japanese. Sounds like じ・ぢ　ず・づ　can be pretty hard for most foreigners indeed lol

Hmm... It sounded like "zi" to me as in Chinese word 姿（姿态 zi tai）or 滋（滋养 zi yang）. But still thank you for making this video and providing some examples with つ. Arigatogozaimasu 😅😆😁 It's very useful and helpful for absolute beginner like me.

Can you make a video of the different sounds of つ and ず please. It seems to sound alike. Or is it? 😄

Hmmmmm. If you can post your pronunciation on Hinative, I could check it. Try to begin with "zoo"for づ

I feel like when I say tsu, I can feel the air at my lower teeth but su, I can't feel it.

@zhe_aliya 6 ай бұрын

the 't' sound in 「つ」 attaches to the preceding letter. For example, the word 'まつ' (to wait) is pronounced 'mat-su', Am I right?

@SeizeJapanese 6 ай бұрын

Hmmm , that's an interesting idea but 待つ doesn't sound “mat su "for me. I think it will work so it will be OK in daily conversations.

Try to say the "yo "and "tsu"with the half length of other hiragana characters.
