Learn Japanese Pronunciation (Fu vs Hu?) + Easy Vocabulary Practice | Nihongo To English Ep. 22

In Episode 22 of Nihongo To English, Michelle MaliZaki and Michael Allen CPA dive into one of the most confusing Japanese pronunciation sounds and why it’s somewhere in between. If you’ve ever wondered how to actually say ふ (fu), this is your episode.

We also flip the script on our usual format with a fun reverse vocabulary quiz—English to Japanese—covering everyday words like food, dates, and daily routines. Plus: curry-smelling houses, slow cookers vs Instant Pots, and a surprisingly deep conversation about Daruma goals and “healing” language.

No homework. Just bilingual chaos—and somehow you learn.

In this episode:

• The truth about Japanese “fu” pronunciation
• English vs Japanese sound differences
• Beginner vocabulary (food, daily life, verbs)
• Daruma goal-setting explained
• Real conversations (and real confusion)

One more time, please. See, I feel like it's like to my English ears, English speaking is No, it sounds like it sounds like it's like ten percent F. Doesn't sound like a straight hune. Hune. Sounds like there's just a bit of a a bit of a mo okay. Yeah. So say so in English, say who. You just did it. I said say who and you I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 2:50

SPEAKER_05 2:58

Who and I'll say who ne. Who net. Alright, I might try to I might change my pronunciation now in all my Fs. I've been saying it with an F like a slight, not a full F.

SPEAKER_03 3:10

So we don't have F U.

SPEAKER_05 3:20

Alright, so I'll I'll try. I'll we're gonna do a uh how to pronounce and then I'll put hiragana fu. Let's go to Wasabi, Japan. Represented with the Roman letter F with a Japanese vowel U. You're going to bring your lips close together and make a sound by causing friction. Circle with a line through it differs from the English sound F, which is made with the upper teeth and lifts. It's an unvoiced sound, yeah. I don't know. I still think it's about I think it's about 10 to 20% F and 80% and 90 to 80% H. H. Okay. Yeah, at least to the English speakers here.

SPEAKER_03 3:57

So it's very subtle, but no hatzong who this Oh, see F to Wakotonari also could no heo kesyona hoo to you otonichika.

SPEAKER_03 5:16

Uh, is it? I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 5:17

Well, I'm just saying across languages, like sometimes we can approximate it, but there can be very subtle differences. Okay, so it's not a pure it's it's definitely not an F. I know it's not an F, but it's not exactly an H either. It's its own thing. But apparently uh Japanese people can't hear the difference, so you're off the hook either way. So ha ha ha hi There it is.

SPEAKER_03 5:45

Ha he hu He ho He ho Mami Mum Ya Yu Yo Ya Yu Yu Yo Yo Radi Rudol Radi Radi Rudero Radio Wa O Oh yeah Wa O Wah O And this O is sometimes spelled like W O because it's a different O from O. I Uno O. Right. Like it all we don't say W.

SPEAKER_05 17:08

Well, what is it? So e dedu. What to fill in? But i de da du.

SPEAKER_03 17:26

It's possible to able to to e de du.

SPEAKER_05 17:31

Yeah, I just it just sounds so funny. So e de du i de da du i da da dedu. But but couldn't you say i sade da? Like you're healing the eye, like you're drawing it in, so it's like you're healing it kind of.

SPEAKER_02 17:54

Is it healing?

SPEAKER_05 17:56

Well, I mean, uh just just you know work with me here. It's like it's like it's I mean, you know, it's eye is missing. So when you accomplish So what we're talking about for if you're listening in English is so when you have a Daruma.

SPEAKER_03 18:07

Darumasan.

SPEAKER_05 18:08

Darumasan. Here's the Daruma-san for those of you watching.

SPEAKER_03 18:12

Hey, it's Daruma.

SPEAKER_05 18:15

So when you have a Daruma, one of these guys, who I'm sure, if you've been to any Japanese restaurant or wherever, you've seen these guys around. And this is a this is a guy, he's like a Buddhist monk, right?

SPEAKER_03 18:25

Buddhist teacher.

SPEAKER_05 18:27

And so when you get him, they usually have no eyes to start. Yeah. Or they have eyes, but they don't have any pupils. No. And so you fill in one pupil, and then you've got this one pupil Daruma that's sort of always looking at you, but it's like incomplete. Kind of annoyingly incomplete.

SPEAKER_02 18:47

Annoyingly.

SPEAKER_05 18:48

Yes. And but you set a goal. Goal. And you say, for example, uh so this Daruma here, I think I mentioned this before, but my goal for this Daruma was to pass the Japanese language proficiency test level N three. And then I took about a year. I mean it took more than a year, but I started it, and then a a year after that I passed the N3. And then I uh I passed it and I got the certification that said you passed, and so I filled in the I. And so now this is a reminder of that I accomplished my goal. So it's like, oh yay. Uh maybe maybe jugolan. But um so you said eru. I get that because you're filling it in. Yeah. But I'm saying, like, can't can't you be like e iasu? Yasasiru, because it's like you're it's like his eye is is missing, and you're like, by drawing it in, it's like you're healing his eye. Um not sure. No, I no, I know that's not right. I'm just saying like as in a in a in a poetic sense because in a poetic sense, yes.

SPEAKER_03 20:05

Yeah. Uh he because Daruma is healed. Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 20:10

I know I know you wouldn't use that to literally say that's what you're doing. But in a but I'm saying in a in an imaginative sense, yeah, yeah. You're healing its eye by drawing it in. Yeah. I insist. Japanese, be more poetic. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:27

I think Japanese it's like a code. Because we often miss watashi to ka anata to gaka kada. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We often don't have the complete sentence like English.

SPEAKER_05 20:42

Right. Oh yeah, I used anata earlier. I should have said minasama. Yeah. Yeah, sorry. So the English no show de minasama, no kokoro, oh Yashimas.

SPEAKER_03 20:54

Yashimas That sounds pretty good.

SPEAKER_05 20:58

Yeah. The heart healing show.

SPEAKER_03 21:00

Heart healing show.

SPEAKER_05 21:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:03

Okay. So should we do Ben Genki?

SPEAKER_05 21:05

Uh yeah. Although although we want to we we want to set a new goal, right?

SPEAKER_03 21:09

Okay, new goal.

SPEAKER_05 21:10

We need to get a new Daruma. So, so so and I think our goal should be ten thousand downloads downloads. Because we're almost at one thousand if we're not there already.

SPEAKER_03 21:19

I think we'll be at one thousand. I mean, we'll pass one thousand today, maybe.

SPEAKER_05 21:24

I think because we're always recording podcasts with the anticipation that they'll be coming out later every single time we do one of these podcasts. I'm like, oh, how do you say that by the time you listen to this podcast? Like, I that always comes up. I just need to practice it till I memorize it.

SPEAKER_03 21:40

Yosh Yosh. Yosh Genki, we're going back to Genki. Genki Demolonius. Oh, Yosh. Okay, we finish that nanny make date.

SPEAKER_05 21:51

I did I do.

SPEAKER_03 21:54

We oh, we did uh making a date last time. So now we're gonna do that.

SPEAKER_05 21:57

Yeah, we well, well, yeah, we did making a date. But we decided that it should really be called. Eh, making it aid, it's fine. It's just it's awkward because it's a textbook. Oh, bum, bum, bum. It's tongle.

SPEAKER_03 22:13

Yeah. Page 84.

SPEAKER_05 22:15

Well, you know, let's do something different this time. Okay. How about I read you the English and you tell me the Japanese? Okay. Because it would be interesting if there were places where the word you say isn't the word that's in here for some reason. Oh. Alright, so we're gonna do the vocabulary. And even though I could use the practice, we're gonna do it backwards anyway. Which is still good, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:37

SPEAKER_03 23:37

Usually it comes with rice.

SPEAKER_05 23:39

Rice, but it's like a hamburger steak and it can usually have a sauce on it. Or it can be like an omu rice kind of with a hambagu on it or something. So that's why you're like, why are they pronouncing it different? Alright. Alcoholic drink or sake.
