It's so interesting, thank you for this video. 🌸I'm studying Japanese in university and Korean for only one year. I found lots of similarities in the pronauciation of some words which made my life easier.
These are so underrated. Inspiring me to take this approach to other areas of study beyond what's covered in this series too, thanks a ton.

0:33 ふた doesn't mean “two” in Japanese…. It's true we sometimes count things as ひとつ、ふたつ、みっつ etc but ふた usually means “a rid”. I think it is better to think that ふ means two instead of ふた because there is another way to count need numbers ひぃ、ふぅ、みぃ、よぉ. FYI we usually count numbers いち、に、さん、し, the first way is an old way to count. The word “ニ”, itself NEVER BE ふた, you need to add つ in front of ニ, when you want to read ニ as “huta”. And usually, these words are written in hiragana like ふた（つ）. I know this content needs to be shown in a similar way in Chinese and Korean so it is what it is.🫠
I'm soneone who is chinese but basically havent used it in years and this is a good refresher
This is fascinating! Thank you so much for making these videos!
very detailed really interesting video. thank you!
