How to improve my japanese accent? - Matthew - 02-17-2013 05:20 PM I'm learning Japanese and I have plenty of opportunities to speak with Japanese women to help improve my pronunciation. However, I'm worried that I may be picking up some feminine ways of speaking. I'm a 19 year old boy, but there are no Japanese boys my age in my area to practise with. The Japanese women are all married to English men, so there are no men of any age that I can speak to! Are there any good Japanese dramas that have boys my age speaking in a natural way? Does anyone have any tips/suggestions as to what I can do? Thanks in advance - Lucy - 02-17-2013 05:28 PM I don't think Japanese dramas will help you because they're presented very comically. You could use twitter to befriend with some Japanese males your age and then eventually add them on skype and have phone calls with them. Hope I helped! :-) - 宥貴 - 02-17-2013 05:28 PM I recommend "花より男子" ("Hanayori Dango") This is a little bit old drama (Maybe 2007 or 2009)but main roles are male expect one female. And I think accent or pronunciation in this drama is right. The story is not difficult and the scene is highschool, therefore the role's age is 18 but the actre's age is more old !
