My darling is studying English every day for about 25min using Skype and of course he has the same problem.
While at cafe, he showed me the Mouth Positions for R and L Sounds...
LOL XD
But it's not a laughing matter because I do have the same problem once in a while. But at least I know how weird I pronounce those, I believe I have a chance to improve them someday!
Maybe future video recording might help me improve it :D
Practice makes perfect!

ReplyDeletehaha ochi your hubby is so funny.. but yes, practice makes perfect!!!! you guys practice english and i'll keep practicing my japanese! hehe! :D
ReplyDeleteHi suki,
ReplyDeleteYes! "th" is also difficult for us! We tend to pronounce it "su" X(
We are not going to school now. My darling is studying by himself and I don't really study... I don't feel like paying for English at least I know how to communicate with others XP
This is great! Thanks Ochi!!! Your husband is so busy, and you guys are building your new house AND he has time to study English. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteR and L are so difficult, and lots of my students make mistakes with them. S and SH are hard for some japanese students too. Don`t make a mistake with `sit` hehe ;)
Hi Kym,
ReplyDeleteHis eyes were so funny that I cut the image, actually. hahaha
Yes! I will try to improve my English in practice ;) Let's do our best!
Hi Fran,
ReplyDeleteSkype is really convenient! You can study whenever and it is actually very cheap: only 5000 yen per month for 25 min lesson every day! Teachers are mostly Filipino but at some schools you can choose native teachers by adding the fee. That's why he can manage both ;)
haha, yes! Sometimes we do mispronounce "S" and "SH"... For me, "world" and "word" are tricky. Also, I somehow cannot pronounce "button" clearly... Many problems! haha
Nice diagram! Thanks for sharing. Maybe it can help some of my students. :)
ReplyDeleteHi ReBekha!
ReplyDeleteGlad you find it informative ;) Your students have the same problem there?! I forgot that you are a teacher!!! hehe
Ochi,
ReplyDeleteHonestly I had these problem too..Until now I still haven't figure out how to pronounce them in proper,international way.
And I totally agreed with you-practice make perfect!!
Beside,I like your photo.You looked fair in sky blue..
Happy day eventhough I had busy one.
Hi jose!
