NHKハングル講座 「연리지」 신승훈씨 interview

How does a Japanese learn the Hangul Alphabet?

In Japan there are this program in TV once a week for 25 minutes, and on a radio every day for 15 minutes until Monday through Friday.
We are really rich to study the Hangul Alphabet in Japan.
However, an opportunity is just only an opportunity. Effort depends on the person himself.
화이팅!
YOKO

Bomdianet.com Alphabet 1.02 “A” Accents

I have being teaching Portuguese over 15 years for foreing friends also I use to teach by internet. Skype or MSN as well.
This is the first sequence of Brazilian Alphabet 1.01.
Here you wil learn about how to pronunce different accents in Brazilian Portugues, from a Sao Paulo Portuguese Teacher voice. This is about the “vogal A”. Please support my videos with your attention. muito obrigado. Thank you. ありあがとう!
The Brazilian Alphabet pronunciation
By a native Sao Paulo Portuguese teacher.
I am very happy to input my first On line Portuguese class about Brazilian Portuguese alphabet (1.01).
I hope it will be useful for all lovers of Brazilian Language and Culture. I do love Portuguese Language and to teach it. Please, enjoy it and send me your asks and observations. Thank you very much for your attention and also for other Portuguese Language teachers or Portuguese Language lovers to try to do the same.
How to follow it?
Simple, direct and fast…it just spend less then 3 minuts. This time I did not use collors. I hope the velocity of my speech was easyer to be listen.
Observe that: some words are understood just by the use of their accents.
My accent is from Sao Paulo not from Rio.
Bossa Nova singer students
I use to teach Bossa Nova voice classes. You lover of Bossa Nova should try to study the pronunciation if you really wants to sing it in properly Brazilian Portuguese. George Michel that did a great job sang The girl from Ipanema in Portuguese! Just on little mistake at the end..it is a pit! but he did beter then others than use sing in portugues…therefore we Brazilian believe then are sing in their languages!! In English they changed close to all original lyrics!! Moreover, there are videos with translation in English and Japanese (pioner) !!!
I hope you enjoy it.. I spend a day just to make about 2 minuts of videos for you. If not…please, send me your comments..therefore…the best class is the individual class..made just for your necessities..and it is my job and study to make it individual during private classes.. You are very welcome to enjoy and make your comments. I have more then 10 years teaching Portuguese for foreigners friends abroad and in Brazil.Email me. I also enjoy to teach Portuguese on line by English or Japanese or without translations as they wishes.
About Brazil image
Brazil is a country in development which cannot be compare to war or undeveloped countries. In other way, Brazil is called by economists as the head of BRICS new economy world system.

Mostly Brazilians are not able to speak English but most Brazilians will be very kind to try to make your travel to Brazil a real tropical dream. Brazil is not just Copacapaba, Amazon, Bahia and Pantanal. Brazil is also Sao Paulo, Minas, Rio Grande do Sul and so amazing places without too many tourist or violence.
In The world
In Japan, Portuguese is the 3rd most spooken language. But not so admired as the image of Brazil not be as good as the level of its official Language. In other countries this situation looks like better. Therefore, some Brazilins try to change it. In other way many movies, documentaries and also shows from Brazil and other countries send bad images about Brazil and in this way dismotivate the study of Portuguese and also busyness with Brazil. I hope this situation change one day. Brazil is a marvelous country with a marvelous people as all countries in the world. And we have problems as all countries too. I hope everybody can understand it one day by the power of the internet and no more just by pop movies and pop tv. Let’s respct differents cultures and make a real globalization of cultures and languages!
About Porguguese learning in Japan I hope these videos shoul be useful for your learning of Portugues…as the general action in Japan be to improve the learning of English and Japanese..steed of Portuguese be the 3rd language more used in Japan!
Portuguese and feelings
Portuguese is a language of feelins
more you learn Portuguese more you going to understand about expression of feelings in a level that just how knows Portuguese can say..It is because Portuguese has structures that also other Latin Languages lost. By conjugation of verbs and the use of prepositions and genders and so on …portuguese is a powerful language of feelings ..study it and you will be able to understand what I mean.
Muito obrigado por sua atencao.
Thank you very much for your attention.

Vocaloid 2 “Hatsune Miku” Beauty and the Beast - English

Watch in high quality
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYdL7Bq4L4c&fmt=18

This video was my first attempt at teaching “Hatsune Miku” to sing in english using Vocaloid 2.

After seeing other YouTube videos of Miku singing in English made me want so badly to try this. WOW Miku sounds even better in English, soooo cute!!!

So I bought the software…and!

As I found out the hard way when it came, this software only sings in Japanese, and with no English word dictionary or English voice synth. that I know of.

I flipped my lid after spending big bucks on this thing and she don’t sing in English!!!! WTF

So to make the best of things, I had to search the net for a complete Japanese syllables, alphabet, consonants, and vowels chart just to see how each Japanese letter sounds.

This is a small sample of how I made the words come out somewhat in English:

Take the words: Beauty and the Beast.
This wont work just typed in Vocaloid 2, so after trial and error, mixing and matching Japanese syllables, I came up with this…

i-yu-ti / a-n-da / bi-tsu

The letter “I” in Japanese sounds like the letter “B” bee…..

And then “YU” as in the word, You…

and “TI” sounds like the letter “T” tee… Ahhh getting the idea now!

Thanks for watching my video. More to come in the future. (^_^)/

My Naruto Rpc

This is my naruto rpc Aliyuki. I know there is no letter “L” in the Japanese alphabet nor is Aliyuki an actual name. I made up the name when I was younger and it kinda stuck. Also she shouldn’t have the colar(sp? I really need to go back to schoolO_o) on the shirt and she has bangs. I was just too lazy to edit those things.:P

Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto

Ali belongs me
