@Snoowflake hi again! I think it's important to care about intonation and prominence. non Japanese speakers tend to speak without tones in words. a better way is copy how Japanese say repetitively. I do it too to practice English. the pic might be too technical but hope it helps. I've taken phonics class before.

@yyy1011 Yes, that seems like a good idea!! I’ll try my best to improve!!
The picture is a little technical (and I don’t quite understand what’s happening in it😅) but I definitely understand what you mean! Thank you sooooo much!!!!!

@Snoowflake you see some ひらがな in picture right? so that means where those ひらがな are pronounced. か行 means かきくけこ .

I think I get it. That is very interesting way of looking at it.
Even if I don’t, this is still really helpful anyways!!
I will definitely be using your advice! Thank you so much! ^-^

En mi opinión, no es tan difícil pronunciar la lengua japonesa para la persona que habla español porque la pronunciación es muy parecida a español.
Le aconsejo que tenga muchas oportunidades de escuchar las conversaciones japonesas por tele, radio y internet.
Es cuestión de escuchar japonés más .😊
