Hello, /djt/. Genki desu ka?
乙
Any tips for pitch accent? I used an anki extension to add the accent graphs to my vocab decks a couple of weeks ago. I can hear that there is a difference, but it's still difficult to determine the actual pattern (particularly odaka). It's also slowing down my reviews since I'm focusing on trying to hear it properly, and it's become difficult to maintain my focus for more than a handful of cards at a time.
I can imitate the voice, but lowering the pitches to my regular vocal range makes me feel like I'm no longer matching the pitch changes. It also makes me wonder if I'm simply changing volume instead of pitch... I end up focusing on my pronunciation so much that I end up not focusing on the definition. Basically every card is taking me ~ 25-30 seconds as I replay the audio a dozen times.

What do you guys think their guy Kirino said to our guy Akicchie at 1:34?
He made a play on words
He said "You have a very good skill."
In Japanese スキルがありすぎる
スキル is similar to すぎる
"男の女の話" is this like "A story about men and women" or "Men's women talk"?
Damn that's too advanced.
助けてバンプ
>A story about men and women
should just have been 男女の話, no?
ill say "manwoman's talk"
So like when guys talk about the chicks they dated, etc?
>*の
Nominalizer
>と
"and"
To make the next live successful, I've been thinking *that we need to have a training camp *and about two other new ideas.
To be honest, I'm nothing more than a native speaker who acquired Japanese before I knew it, so it's extremely hard for me to give logical, detailed, and convincing explanation of its grammar to an advanced learner like you.
Please forgive me for giving up!
By any chance, the yotsuba poster or someone else who has a good knowledge of Japanese could answer your question on behalf of a dumbass like me.
You're Japanese?
imho that would be
男の女話
日本人なりめ
Yes, I am.

Do you like this song?
How does って work in this sentence? All I know is that it's used as the と particle and as そうです in an informal environment.
"中村先生って、どんな先生か知ってる?"
は
といって
don't practice pitch accent on your regular cards that you learn vocab from
make separate cards just for pitch accent, for example asking what's the pitch of word X
>日本人なりめ
What did you mean by this?
>Do you like this song?
Sorry to say this, but it's not my cup of tea.
Are the lyrics not good?
"なり" doesnt bear "would be/discount" connotation?
お頭いいですねほんと
