I was born in Tokyo, but my family is from Osaka. Growing up in the US, I speak Japanese haltingly. However, all I know is Osaka-ben. I was in Washington DC and speaking Japanese to a gal from Okinawa and she picked up on the dialect right away. She thought it was funny. :-)

I'd like to learn the osaka accent

I recently watched 君の名は several times, where characters from 糸守町 speak a special dialect, for example, や in place of だ as copula. But there are still a lot of dialectal lines that are secret code to a Japanese learner like me. I learned that the dialect used in this movie is fictional but is a mixture of real dialects, say, 岐阜弁 and 関西弁. This makes sense, as there are many dialectal lines that can be explained by this video. For example, ん expressing 'not' is attested in several scenes. When みつは is passing by while her father is giving an election speech, he stops to shout at her '胸張って歩かんか'. When さやか asks her 'don't you remember (you were like crazy yesterday)' on the campus, the line goes '覚えとらんの'; and when さやか brings up the coming ceremony, みつは replies '言わんといて'. There are also many other examples of Kansai dialectal lines, like よつは asks her sister '何しとるの' instead of '...てるの' while みつは (actually たき) is rubbing her breast; よつは asks みつは (actually たき) '何で制服着とんの' instead of '...着てるの' when they are going to 御神体; よつは asks みつは (actually たき) 'ちょっと何言っとんの' instead of '...言ってるの' when みつは (actually たき) is asking her to leave the town with their grandma. I'd just like to say thank you to Miku sensei, your videos, not only this one, let me decipher a lot of the lines in this movie, and my Japanese improved a lot after watching 君の名は and your videos. Learning Japanese by watching movies you like is really a good way. It would be super fantastic if you could make videos teaching Japanese and introducing Kansai dialect with famous movies like 君の名は. Anyways, thank you so much and keep up the good work.

I learned Japanese via anime 2 decades ago. It's so nice to see that kids nowadays are still doing that. In fact it's so much easier with everything available online right now, including fan subbed series! Grammatical point: Kansaiben uses the verb「おる」in place of Standard「いる」so「いない」becomes「おらん」. The example you presented「着とんの」is Standard Japanese「着ているの」"wearing" with a「の」at the end for emphatic questioning, which contracts to「着てるの」in Standard. However in Kansaiben,「着ておるの」contracts to「着とるの」and in rapid speech further slurs into「着とんの」 which is the same for most English accents. Most people do not enunciate "What. Are. You. Wearing?" like a robot. In natural speech it's contracted into: "What're you wearing?" "What're ya wearin'?" "Whaddya wearin'?'" For the negative, "not remembering" (although in English it's more natural to say: "don't remember" ---「覚えとらんの」is contracted from「覚えておらんの」which in Standard Japanese is「覚えていないの」/「覚えてないの」。 Ganbatte kudasai ne!

Honestly, the Kansai-ben sounds so nice and I love it! When I get better at Japanese, I'll definitely practice it more!

6:14 sounds similar to the intonation of Busan dialect of Korean~ Well Busan is so close to Japan and was controlled by the Japanese. As far as I remember the dialect has received the most Japanese influence in all of Korean dialects 🤔

面白いですね。来年に京都大学でべんきょうするかもしれませんだから。。。関西弁をべんきょうしましょう！^＿^ すみません。私の日本語はよくないです。

I LOVE ALEX!!! I've learned a lot from him back in 2017 with his audios. Please invite him more and encourage him to create more material for us! :D I love you too btw!

Thank you sensei for this 😊

I was starting to grow more and more interested in Kansai Dialect, and this video just pops up like an answer to my prayers. wow :D

I'm so happy you made this video ❤️ Also, yes please guys what Dogen he really is a genius

I’ve been listening to Alex’s podcast for a a few months now. Never seen him before but somehow I knew it was him before I heard him talk lol

Thank you for doing this video. I really appreciate it. I always wanted to learn Kansai ben beacuse I'll going to live in 大阪. Keep doing this kind of video, it's very helpful, お願いします~!! ❤️❤️

I love this 😂! I’ve always wanted to learn Kansai Dialect!

I dont know why, but this video has helped me learn more Japanese than many other videos. Probably just because I Love Osaka and cant wait to go back there, but man this was helpful. Thank you! :)

Always ready for some Osaka-ben! Where I lived, where the humour is at and where the best atmosphere is :D

I hope to see more videos and explanations in partial (or better yet, full) japanese!

PLEASE make THIS into A SERIES !!

おもしろいなぁ関西弁 でも話せなくても 聞いたら意味が解るところが嬉しい

I love the way you teach Japanese, you really deserve more subcribers. 🤗😍😉✌️🇯🇵 Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽

I lovee this series

Thank you for this! This helped me understand jokes in the Yakuza video games!

わざわざたっぷりの大坂弁のフレーズをの何から何まで教えくれて感謝しております。おまけに、Learn Japanese PodからAlexを招待していただきよっかたですね。相変わらず彼はとてもおもしれー人だけでなく笑いのツボもあるよ。彼が例文をあげる時、上には理解しやすく、本番に効果的です。改めて言うことにする、Learn Japanese Podを調べてくれて頼むね。この役にたつ動画を見そびれんといて。

If anyone's interested in learning Kansai Ben even more, check out *Organic Japanese with Cure Dolly* . She has some lessons on Kansai ben over on her channel and they're quite educational. So check her out. (Btw I'm not sponsored by her or anything, I just really stand by her content and so am sharing it with you guys)

Oh I remember "Alex and Beb" Japanese pod back in the day!! 懐かしい！まだ日本語を勉強してますよ。

That was really funny and educational. Although I found that in some parts the audio was too low (outro for example). There are amazing free softwares that can "normalize" (technical term) the audio and make the quality a lot better. Thank you for the video Miku sensei! Also Alex sensei!

Please more videos about Kansai ben! Thank you sensei!

OMG!! A few minutes into this video I realized this is Alex from "Learn Japanese Pod"! Last year I was looking for good Japanese language podcasts to listen to while cycling and found them on Spotify. And funny enough I think this video popped up because I follow Dogen, Japanese Ammo with Misa, and Shunchan who's from Osaka. Actually heard "せやなせやな " in a video where Shun was talking to his dad 😆 I thought it was the coolest phrase! I really enjoyed this Kansai video and hope to re-circle back once I have a better grasp of things! アレックスさん、ミクさん、ありがとうございました 🙏

Very cool! Lots of this dialect is also heard in anime. I look forward to part 2 😁

ビデオはほんま楽しかった！！！！

I lived in Hyogo for 3 years as an exchange student and didn't realize I learned Osaka-ben until I went to Tokyo for a class trip and someone pointed it out 😅 I've been re-learning Japanese and it's been so confusing learning non-Kansai dialect. These videos have helped me refresh my brain

Sensei.. plz do a video with dogen .. it will be so much fun!!

If you ever do more series, please do one on 佐賀弁!

Finally!! KANSAI BEN!!

ミク先生は本当に可愛い先生ですね

Miku sensei!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ your headress is cute!!!!

Ain’t ever been this early to a video 😂

Thank you for the video!! I’ve been wanting to learn Kansai dialect because a book that I’m currently reading uses it. If possible, could you make a listening video in Kansai dialect so that we could hear it in context?

Alex sensei!!!

It's good to have the opportunity to learn Osaka-ben!

I don't speak japanese at all but I enjoy watching your videos. This wouldn't have been the take away for most people, but today I learned that 波 "nami" = wave (6:30). I know about words like "tsunami" but never made that connection. Thanks real Japanese family!

I love the different accents. My grandma was born in 川崎市 so of course she speaks “standard Japanese” so when she speaks it’s a bit easier for me to understand. So I think for that reason and the fact everyone learns standard Japanese. I find them really interesting

たこ焼き食べたくなってしまいました😋🍴💕

何でやねん！笑笑。ビデオ作ってくれてありがとうございました。

Who could give a dislike to this video?? It was a Great , funny and usefull one, especially that I live in nara and I've contact with people from Osaka hehe wainting a second part ( by the way I am Spanish native speaker so sorry for the English hehe)

When I went to Osaka I had my first real takoyaki and time just stop! It was so good I had to sit down and think about life! Also Osaka people are so beautiful and so carefree and respectful! I love them!! All of my friends are from Osaka so now I just talk Japanese in Kansai ben. Lol Also I found out Osaka people don't like people from Tokyo and vice versa lol

This is so fascinating usually sentences gets shorter when we speak in dialect in my country but in Osaka it gets longer often particularly for females . just wow

ミク先生、ありがとう、 I love you! Lol

みくさんわかわいい！！

wish there will be more about osaka or kansai dialect in the next video

Miku! Love it. I live in Kyoto and my husband is from Osaka so my Japanese is so Kansai! Haha. Actually the other day I saw you in Ichijoji near the station. I was drinking coffee at my husbands cafe with a few other foreigners and you pointed over. I wanted to go and say hey but I was kind of shy and I didn’t want to bother you. Is it okay if I see you again to say hey? Now you’re living in Kyoto maybe I will see you more.

Why don't you please start a podcast on Spotify ? It would be awesome to listen to your lessons while commuting :)

I think that regional dialects are fascinating. I recently started to discover 広島弁. It's really tricky (ぶちいたしーのう!

Dear Miku sensei, could you also do a brief one for Kanazawa (or the region) if possible? I found that I couldn't understand their Japanese at all...

Hey isn't that Alex from Learn Japanese Pod? I recognized the voice I was just listening to his podcasts

ほんまにおもろいやん

Feels gr8 to learn Kansai dialect too😁. But I think it was too much to digest in only one video

I really want to go to Osaka

関西弁がめっちゃ好き　笑笑

❤ Osaka

Living in Osaka and this helps soooo much. Lol

Very interesting, thanks for the interesting comparison and for the subs as well!

I love this video. I did a summer internship in Kyoto last year and it was my first time in the country, so Kansai-ben feels kind of special whenever I hear it! あぁ、そうなんや！
