What does Japanese sound like when spoken?

Japanese is a very syllabic language, meaning that each word is made up of multiple syllables. It is not a tonal language, but instead a pitch-adjacent one. This can make it difficult for English speakers to pronounce Japanese words correctly. The pronunciation of Japanese words can also vary depending on the region in which they are spoken. However, with a little practice, it’s not too difficult to learn to speak Japanese correctly.
