What helped me is when I first pronounce つ long ago is saying Cat soup but remove the p and spell it as CA-TSOU and pronounce the end over sorry if it doesn’t make any sense I tried :P

@@SeizeJapanese hi! i can’t read japanese.

I have two Japanese teachers gave up on me with Tsu.

This is cool! We borrow the word Tsunami in the US and I've always (unknowingly) pronounced it with the Tsu featured here even though others say it with a silent T (like Sue). Though I'm not actually sure which is the correct pronunciation in Japanese for Tsunami specifically since I'm not studying the language, still very interesting!

Great video! :) It helped me to teach my son the proper pronunciation for one of the books he's reading!

Thank you for the video. I really like the examples part😊👍👍 ありがとうございます😊

It all makes sense now, at least how to pronounce it

In Slavic languages (Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian) there is Ц sound it is exactly つ without U :)

Thank you so much! This is very helpful:)

You can survive in Japan just with "Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu" "Otsukare samadeshita" and "Sumimasen"😁

Thank you :)

This makes me remember when I had problems pronouncing "綴る" when I was studying Japanese. Sounds like じ・ぢ　ず・づ　can be pretty hard for most foreigners indeed lol

綴る is hard for me,too😅

In Cambodia 🇰🇭 Tsu( ត្សុឹ​)​is amazing ❤ like Tsubasa bridge of donated by Japanese people. Arikato friends

Hmm... It sounded like "zi" to me as in Chinese word 姿 （姿态 zi tai）or 滋 （滋养 zi yang）. But still thank you for making this video and providing some examples with つ. Arigatogozaimasu 😅😆😁 It's very useful and helpful for absolute beginner like me.

Thank you so much! I was having trouble pronouncing Tsu but I think I have it after a few tries 😁

some time i pronounce it STU like the " (st)udent " it's confusing ....

I feel like when I say tsu, I can feel the air at my lower teeth but su, I can't feel it.

Can you make a video of the different sounds of つ and ず please. It seems to sound alike. Or is it? 😄

Hmmmmm. If you can post your pronunciation on Hinative, I could check it. Try to begin with "zoo"for づ

the 't' sound in 「つ」 attaches to the preceding letter. For example, the word 'まつ' (to wait) is pronounced 'mat-su', Am I right?

Hmmm , that's an interesting idea but 待つ doesn't sound “mat su "for me. I think it will work so it will be OK in daily conversations.

しょっぱい Shoppai - Salty すっぱい Suppai - Sour These confused me, i felt like its shi-yo-tsu-pa-i and su-tsu-pa-i but that's not at all right haha..
