Tips for natural speech
- Clarify ambiguous kanji readingsKanji often have multiple on'yomi and kun'yomi readings; if a name or rare word mispronounces, write it out phonetically in hiragana or katakana.
- Use punctuation for natural cadenceJapanese pitch accent and pacing rely on breathing points. Insert commas (、) and full stops (。) to guide rhythm and pauses.
- Format numbers for contextFor contextual counters and dates, writing numbers in kanji or kana (like 一つ or ひとつ) prevents unexpected pronunciation shifts.
