Pronunciation

Here can you find how to pronounce the english words in the right way, so it sounds right when you sing the songs!

And if there're anything wrong, please correct them!

Lets start with the vowels! Thesse vowels are whispered when they ocuur between two voiceless consonats, such as p, t, k, sh, ch, ts and h, or at end of a word when preceded by a voiceless consonant. For example, ashita (tomorrow, Pronounces in english ah-shee-tah) may sound like ashta to you.

And then then consonates.

OBS! This set is tricky. it's not like the English R. It's pronounced by pressig the tongue to top of the mouth like L. However, the tongue should touch a little further back in the mouth than L. When you say Japanese R, only touch the very tip of your tongue to the top of the mouth (unlike L, where you thouch your big part of tongue to the top of the mouth). You can add a little flick to it to make is sound a little bit like the English D, especially when you're talking fast. It may take some time to learn it, but trust me, it'll come!
