    #7 Why Japanese People Struggle with English Pronunciation

    Why do Japanese speakers struggle with English pronunciation — even after years of study? In this episode, I break down the real reasons: the structure of the Japanese sound system, a school system that teaches English to be read (not spoken), and the fear of sounding "wrong." More importantly — I share the three tools that actually work: shadowing, self-recording, and word stress. Your accent doesn't have to be perfect. It has to be clear. And that's completely learnable. 🎧 This week's homework: Record yourself saying one English sentence every day. Just one. Listen back without judging. --- 📝 Want to go deeper on English pronunciation?

If you’ve ever felt stuck between what you should do and what you want to do, this episode is for you. https://note.com/you_s108/n/n373398fa5ebf
