Japanese Pronunciation: Special sounds Yoon and Dakuon together ぎゃ じゅ びょ etc.

Pronouncing Japanese yoon and dakuon together can be a bit tricky for beginners, but with practice and attention to detail, it can be mastered effectively. Yoon refers to a small "ya, yu, yo" that is combined with a vowel in Japanese. On the other hand, dakuon refers to the voiced consonants in Japanese, such as "g," "z," "d," and "b."





When pronouncing yoon and dakuon together, it is important to pay attention to both the consonant and the vowel sounds. For example, let's take the yoon "gya" (ぎゃ). In this case, you would start with the voiced consonant "g" and then add the yoon "ya" sound after it, creating a combined sound of "gya."


It is helpful to listen to native speakers and mimic their Japanese pronunciation. By imitating how they pronounce yoon and dakuon together, you can improve your own pronunciation skills and develop a more natural-sounding accent.
