Mina-san, part 3 of Nozomi and Marky’s Aomori-ben series is finally here. We’re at the half-way point so you’re almost over the hump, so to speak. Be sure to leave Nozomi a post, can you do it in Aomori-ben yet? Have a great weekend!

Is Yoshikai from Aomori? Does he have an accent?

青森弁はむずかしいですね。

でも、don’t worry. It’s difficult for Japanese, like me, too. Sometimes, the English translation is even easier to understand the meaning! It’s fun though.

がんばりましょう! Let’s go for it!

Hi Liz-san,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention and apologies for the inconvenience. This lesson should now appear in iTunes if you update the podcast. Tomorrow we’ll be back with Miki-san’s Audio Blog.

i don’t know why, but yoshikai really cracked me up when he said やべー and どすべ.

also, if you have’t checked out the PDF, i went to town on this one for you guys, since it was part 3. I included a massive summary of the grammar points covered up to this point and of course, the Standard Japanese translation is also included!

腹減ったじゃ。昼飯はどすべ? :mrgreen:

けっぱれ! (aomori-ben for がんばれ)

Nozomi says:

みなさん、こんにちは!のぞみです。
青森弁は難しいですよね。
標準語とは全然違うので、聞くのも話すのも大変です。

>>maxiewawaさん
よしかいさんは青森の人ではありませんよ★
私がよしかいさんにアクセントを教えました☆
上手になりましたよ!

これからも日本語の勉強頑張ってくださいね!

Yabē… Aomori-ben sounds very different to my newbie ears! I’m slowly making my way up to the more recent podcasts (currently still in Jan. 2006), and when I noticed a few lessons on Aomori, I felt inclined to jump in and listen to them. Having heard the 3 Aomori-ben podcasts, I felt inclined to leave a post.

I’m from Canada (near Toronto) and my half-Japanese boyfriend from Tokyo recently moved to Aomori to start his own business. I might go to Aomori within the next few months, before September, so I found these podcasts very informative (and overwhelming for my newbie ears).

I look forward to hearing more about Aomori! I must get back to studying Japanese now!

markystar says:

Nozomi, as always, thank you! ♪

Johana, if you move up to Aomori, you are moving with some serious firepower! if you bust out some local phrases for them you will endear yourself eternally!

けっぱれよ!  :cool:

Where can I learn more about Aomori-ben!!!?!? I’m kind of in love with it after listening to these lessons, but there is scarcely any literature or programs about it. In fact, it looks like J-POD101 is at the top of the list!

I’m looking into a Creative Artist-In-Residence program there and would be thrilled if I could have a leg up on comprehension. A friend of mine just got a book on Kansai-ben. It is the “Japanese version” meaning that it is actually for Japanese people, but it has everything written in Kana, Kanji, Romaji, AND english! Its really great and its fully illustrated. I hope there is something like that for Aomori-ben:)

In short, can anyone point me in the right direction to finding ANYTHING on how to learn more Aomori-ben?

ありがとうございます

Kato says:

I am kind of feeling strange, They said Aomori’s dialect is Tsutsu-ben, BUT Tsutsu-ben is from Yamagata. Aomori-ben’s dialect is TSUGARU BEN.

I myself is from Aomori, pardon me for saying such awful stuff. If you want to teach, Please teach the correct stuff. Intonation is different, That girl Nozumi saying she is from Aomori is a big mistake, Do not ever try to pass as a 青森県民。 Because, as a 青森県民 myself, I can know by their intonation or 発音。

Although I get such delight from people saying they are interested in Aomori-ben, BUT, Please teach Japanese learners the right stuff.

Thank you.

Kato says:

Oh and one more , just to let the learners of Aomori-ben know, Aomori have 2 dialect, Tsugaru-ben & Nambu-ben. Both are entirely different.

Thank you.

yukiman says:

Kato-san,
I’m pretty much sure that they are saying ずーずー弁 not ツーツー弁.

I guess she’s been in Tokyo for quite a while. Her accent got kinda affected by lots of different intonation for sure, so her aomori intonation was slightly changed…It’s just しょうがない. :sad:

Also according to the wikipedia, ずーずー弁 refers to 東北弁(touhoku dialect). It doesn’t mean only 青森弁(aomori dialect) but also any other dialects in 東北.(of course, including 山形弁(yamagata dialect)) Is this wikipedia’s mistake?
I’m glad to hear your opinion, and share the information with us! :wink:

Thanks.
