It is much clearer than " R " sound. As you listen and practice, you will get more Japanese like pronunciation! The good thing is that you know what you are doing and try to find the difference.

I think it is a good approach to try with ” L ” to make it sound like Japanese! It is much clearer than ” R ” sound.
As you listen and practice, you will get more Japanese like pronunciation!
The good thing is that you know what you are doing and try to find the difference.

Ganbatte kudasai!

Yes, you are right! living room = いま (居間） I think nowadays younger people tend to say リビングルーム/リビング more often because it sounds cooler in カタカナ words :mrgreen: Miho JockZon さん

Thank you for the comment and good question!
Yes, you are right!

living room = いま (居間）

I think nowadays younger people tend to say リビングルーム/リビング more often because it sounds cooler in カタカナ words :mrgreen:

Miho-san, thanks for the new vocabs but isn't living room also "ima" with a different intonation than ima which means now? I haven't much to say about it lesson since I already knew this grammar point but for those who didn't this is very useful. I asked about this about a year ago in the forum. "Little House on the Prairie" is "Lille huset på prärien" in Swedish. All the words on the same place as in english. Stay tuned for more ways of improving your Swedish (Said with a Peter-like voice) :cool: :mrgreen: Hi mina-san!
