Can you hear the difference? 👀🎧 あめ (ame) can mean Can you hear the difference? 👀🎧

あめ (ame) can mean…

☔️ 雨(あめ) = rain
🍬 飴(あめ) = candy

They’re written exactly the same in hiragana, but the pitch accent is different 🇯🇵✨

Can you guess which one Kumi and Fuyuka are saying?

Can you hear the difference? 👀🎧 はし (hashi) can me Can you hear the difference? 👀🎧

はし (hashi) can mean two different things:

🥢 箸(はし) = chopsticks
🌉 橋(はし) = bridge

They’re written exactly the same in hiragana, but the pitch accent changes the meaning!

So… what do you think the first はし means? 😆
🥢 Chopsticks or 🌉 bridge?

Fukuoka Dialect Part ⑤ with Minori sensei 👩‍🏫✨ To Fukuoka Dialect Part ⑤ with Minori sensei 👩‍🏫✨

Today’s Hakata-ben is 「〜けん」, meaning “because / so” 💬

Standard Japanese:
あついから、まど開けて!
Fukuoka dialect:
あついけん、まど開けて!
👉 “It’s hot, so open the window!”

In Fukuoka, けん is often used instead of 〜から / 〜だから.

For example:
🍜 おいしいけん、食べてみて!
“It’s delicious, so try it!”

😴 明日休みやけん、ゆっくり寝る。
“Tomorrow is a day off, so I’m going to sleep in.”

Once you start using 〜けん, your Japanese suddenly gets a little more Fukuoka flavour 😎🍜

Our teachers come from different parts of Japan, so we asked them how they would say “VERY tasty!” in their hometown dialects 👀
