WOW!! 素晴らしい!!The vocalising of the dictionary project is most commendable!! It is very helpful in understanding the tonality of the words… now i know the difference between 雨 and 飴… 買う and 飼う… 帰る and 換える… just to name a few…!

@chin-san, you’re right. This is going to be great to learn the difference in words such as 雨 and 飴. This is going to be a wonderful tool to finally learn how to pronounce everything correctly.

I believe we owe the entire Japanesepod101 voice actors a standing ovation on this one. :dogeza: :dogeza: :dogeza:
