Why am I having Spanish lesson flashbacks??? Maybe because the vowel sounds are totally sounding just like them!!

[joejokool]

Luckily, being Mexican, the vowel pronunciations are pretty much almost identical in the Spanish language . . So this was easy to pick up . .

Are the same as in Spanish so as a native Spanish speaker they're easier to pronounce :)

I'm an 11 American girl, who for some reason is in love with anime and the Japanese and I am working so hard to learn it :D

I can't Thank you enough for your help. I Love Japan so much and I finally started learning the Japanese language and Japanese history. I am taking a Japanese class and I am doing so much better with all your help. The way you go through each pronunciation is so very helpful to me. I know I will do great with your help. Thank You Michele Yamamoto and Japanesepod101!! I couldn't do this without your help!! :)

i definitely found the illustrations helpful! 

[OrangePiiXiiE]

This was super helpful for me, because I have studied Japanese on two separate occasions and after watching several animes, the pronunciation of "u" still had me baffled.  Thank you!

[malikknudsenramadan]

The illustration of the tounge placement was really helpful.

[moussasuwwan]

Thank you so much for all you guys do! This is incredibly helpful and I hope to see awesome content in the future like this, because I like it so much because it goes in depth with the pronunciations. As far as any problems I have with this video, well there are no problems that I can think of.

[twentyone_cat]

I know how to pronounce 4 of these I only watched this because of the u. Some say it's a /u/ while others say it's a /ɯ/. This definitely cleared up some confusion although I still don't know what character the japanese u is in the IPA

[MrSagaTeller]

Vowel pronunciation almost exactly the same as in Polish! This is great :D
