You'll learn about Japanese phonetics, such as pronunciation, rhythm, pitch accent, intonation and so on. Those knowledge will help you sound natural when speaking Japanese.
*There's a mistake in English subtitles at 4:24.
While I'm saying "日本語を勉強しています," the subtitle is "I study English/I'm studying English," but it has to be "I study Japanese/I'm studying Japanese."
I'm sorry and thank you for pointing it out

Hi, Welcome to Speak Japanese Naturally!

Here's the Japanese I said in the video
はい、じゃあ、この動画(どうが)を撮(と)り終(お)わったら何(なに)をするかお話(はな)しします。
OK, now I'll tell you what I'm gonna do after shooting this video.
今(いま)、時間(じかん)が、あの、2:10(にじじゅっぷん)なんですね。
Right now, it's 2:10 pm.
で、4時(よじ)から美容院(びよういん)の予約(よやく)をとっているので、それまで、どうしようかな、
I have an appointment at a beauty salon at 4 o'clock, so I was wondering what I should do until then.
あの、ここを3時半(さんじはん)にでなきゃいけないんです。
Well, I have to leave here at 3:30.
だからあと1時間(いちじかん)ちょっと時間があるので、たまっている仕事(しごと)をすこしでも終わらせてから、いきたいと思(おも)っています。
so I have a little over an hour left, so I'd like to finish up some of my work before I go.
こんな感(かん)じです。
That's it

I just discovered your channel and I really love all your videos about pitch accent and intonation. I have started taking japanese class this year but teachers don't seem to pay much attention to teaching us pitch accent and intonation. Do you have any ressources recommandation on how I can seriously study pitch accent and intonation while taking japanese class ? Please keep up the good work !

when you speak without the "he" intonation it reminds me of the way audio announcements sound in japan sometimes, very clear and robotic

I think this is what sounds robotic about Dogen's Japanese. I could never put my finger on it before. He speaks abnormally flat and over emphasizes his pitch accent.

Hmm in my opinion, it’s more that Dogen speaks with an accent that I have heard other English speakers have. It’s like the closest they can get to minimizing their own accent but it’s just still there... It’s an accent I haven’t heard Japanese people have. It’s not about the pitch accent but about the way they produce the sounds themselves. Kind of how a Japanese person can speak very clear English with excellent pronunciation yet you can somehow tell they’re Japanese even if their pronunciation is “near” flawless. I have a friend from Kyushu who was a French teacher at a University but he’s 100% Japanese. I would say his French was “perfect”. I couldn’t really fault him for his pronunciation (I speak French) but he just spoke with a Japanese accent.. Hard to explain.. I think a good example would be the Dutch who tend to speak fluent English but have a Dutchness to it. Well, anyway, I noticed Dogen has that little “accent”. Mastering pitch accent doesn’t make one sound Japanese, just like my friend who teaches French and is fully fluent in it doesn’t sound “French”… does it matter? I don’t really think so. It’s extremely difficult to get rid of the influences of one’s native language. Some people are able to, some to a lesser extent, and some not at all, but in the end they can still speak their target language fluently and in a way that any native speaker can clearly understand. That’s what matters IMO

Thank you for making this video. May you please read this longish question I have? I would deeply appreciate it 🙏 Is it possible for the pitch, not intonation, change within a sentence? I'm asking because I've been using some Japanese TTS readers (such as OJAD) and I noticed some words changing their pitchs, but I'm not sure if that's a software flaw or a phonetical phenomena indeed. For instance, I'm currently playing ロマサガ2 and it came up with this attack 「体力吸収」; I looked up the pattern for each word individualy (the former 頭高型, the later 平板型), but in OJAD it was represented completely different, as if it was 中高型 both words together. I made a little testing on Google Translate TSS later and it was pronounced as expected previously (頭高型, then 平板型). In brief, which one is right? Does this change actually happen? Thank you if you read until this point!

Hi, that's a good question! when a word and another word are combined, their pitch can be changed. There's a rule that pitch drops only once in a word, and compound words are considered to be one word, so the pitch changes. This part might help you to see that king of pitch change. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZpZ7rKaEy7rDpIU.html But, in this case, 体力吸収, is not a compound word. When I see this word, I read 頭高 then 平板. I tried my son, and he read as the same as I did. OJAD took 体力吸収 as a compound word. It usually works pretty well though

I think I got it that within each word, there is a pitch that governs the up and down of that word while in a whole sentence that there is also an intonation that governs the flow, i.e. the up and down, of that sentence. So, in order to speak a sentence more natrually, need to pay attention to the pitch and intonation both when speaking to impress your audience, right?

I think you needed to substitute "Japanese" for "English" in your description, lol, although I guess that's not that important.. Your monologue seemed pretty level--not too much of a change in pitch as you kept speaking.. I still have to commend you for your grocery store video, and how thorough it was..

As you know, I said nothing important or interesting though...(I should have said something meaningful things) And thank you for the compliment for the previous video.
