FAQ
Common questions.
How do I get pitch accent right?
AnyAccent scores pitch accent at the word level. The Tokyo standard pattern is taught first — "high-low" vs "low-high" minimal pairs like はし (chopsticks vs bridge) get explicit drills.
What is mora timing?
Each mora (rough unit ≈ a kana) gets equal duration. "Tokyo" is to-u-kyo-u (4 morae, not 2 syllables). AnyAccent flags compressed long-vowels and missed geminates.
Does AnyAccent help with R vs L?
There is no L/R distinction in Japanese — both English sounds map to /ɾ/. AnyAccent drills the Japanese /ɾ/ (tap, similar to Spanish single R), not the English distinction.
How long until I can hold a basic conversation?
Pronunciation-wise, mora timing and basic pitch take 4–8 weeks. Vocabulary and grammar are separate problems AnyAccent does not solve — pair it with a course.
