- Is this more focused on acoustic phonetics?
- It talks about Japanese vowels

- “u” is not /u/, but /ω/, huh (blu3mo)
- Maybe it’s because you don’t have to purse your lips as much
- It reminds me of when I was told to purse my lips more for the “u” sound in Chinese Pronunciation, I guess it’s similar to that~ (blu3mo)(blu3mo)

Phonological comparison between Japanese and other languages
- Sounds very interesting (blu3mo)
- Hawaiian language
- “San Francisco” becomes “kapalakiko”
- All the sounds t, d, th, s, z, zh, ts, dz, k, g are all replaced with “k”, I don’t understand the meaning from my perspective
- Japanese
- Japanese also has all sounds replaced with “a”, so it’s similar to Hawaiian language, I guess (blu3mo)
- Accent
- I’ve heard that Japanese has pitch accent and English has stress accent (blu3mo)
- The rules for accent changes in Japanese, they seem really complicated
- Changes that span multiple words
