Japanese Pitch Accent & I Adjectives (Part 1)

This video is part 1 of Japanese pitch accent & I Adjectives. The pronunciation of i-adjectives has been changing. Both traditional and new ways of pronunciation coexist in standard Japanese. This video covers the traditional way of pronouncing i-adjectives. When you identify the accented mora for Japanese words, nouns and na-adjectives are relatively tricky because the accent can fall on any mora.
