Alright, so my logic is basically "If you want a great UTAU, you need to get as close to mastering Japanese pronunciation as possible. An incentive to learn good Japanese pronunciation is learning Hiragana, because then it is easier to see what you're pronouncing when you read the list and then read it more Japanese like." (because, honestly, if you just put "ra" in front of me, I would say "rra" as in "Bad Romance"'s beginning.) So I copy and pasta these resources to people. "First thing you have to do is learn Hiragana and Pronunciation. But not "a = ah ok" But actual study and emulate it the best you can Here are some links I like to show people for that purpose :) www.angelfire.com/geek/tetrisnomiko/pronunciation.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2wzUuGm7yw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWR1Ziynt8g japanese.about.com/library/blhira.htm (I do suggest you find the stroke order for each and write them to help remember) www.realkana.com/hiragana/ Alright, then once you get that done, I can send you over some VCV samples to help you time, then my favorite reclist so you can record :) Then I can show you how to OTO it 8D" and I will still probably copypasta this to people over youtube PMs. As a note, I suggest listening really hard and trying to copy how the Japanese people say things, and then saying that to yourself while you copy each kana ten times in a notebook. Then you can come back and copy them ten times again. It's more fun than it sounds. |

For mobile if you want to practice in a place without internet or paper (there are more programs around but these ones are small enough for old java mobiles -like mine- to make them work): Hiragana Recall Katakana Recall Take in count these doesn't show stroke order so they're more games than real teaching tools and can't substitute the paper and writing methods. But well, they're free and they're ok if you're waiting for the bus. |
