その通りです。よくお勉強されていらっしゃいますね。

ただし、このレッスンは初心者向けのレッスンです。
ポイントは「私はーーーです。」という文法で自分の職業が言えますよ、という例を出来るだけ簡単に口頭で示したかっただけでした。

教師という言葉を既にご存じでしたら、そちらをご使用される事をお勧め致します。

Thank you for the comment! That’s right. I personally never call myself as “sensei” either.

However this lesson is designed for beginners. And we wanted to introduce the structure talking about our occupations by using “Watashi wa —–desu.” Ten minutes goes quick, and I simply didn’t have time to explain the difference of “sensei”,”koushi”and “kyoushi”.

If you already know the word “Kyoushi”, that’s great! Please go ahead and use it.

Thank you very much for the comment again. I really appreciate it.

Well, at least that is what my Japanese teacher taught me

よくできました！

>The pitch accent stuff was useful as well. Are there any patterns to this, or is it on a word-by-word basis?

Yes. There are some patterns, but there are so many exceptions and sometime it depends on the speaker’s background. So basically, you need to check the tone word by word.
Foreign words tend to have flat intonation or be lowered at the 2nd syllable from the last. If the word has only 2 syllable, such as ペン lower the 2nd syllable.

Dear Enricoさんand//digitaljoさん
Yes. You are right! I used 東西南北（west/east/south/north) and 春夏秋冬（spring/summer/fall/winter) in the people’s names.
Speaking of しゅう, I have already given him the last name which includes 西（west). But it’s not 西沢 or 西崎. Good Guess!
もっとかんたんです。

That was nice! Very very nice!

As has been mentioned above, your voice is easy on the ears. It is hard to overstate how important it is that the hosts and voice actors be pleasant to listen to. In that, you join a wonderful tradition including Peterさん、Sakuraさん、Natsukoさん and Chigusaさん。
