Sorry to ask a simple question, but i want to get the sound of tsu pronunciation correct.
To me Tsu sounds like chu(chinese) or is it zhu(chinese), learned mandarin in asia.
i want to get tsu right so i can say Tsukae masu and O tsuri correctly.
Can Tsu be sounded differently like the english word read( As in "I am reading a book"- present tense and " I've read the book"-past tense)
Thank you for your time.
pronunciation of Tsu
For the first part of your question, "Tsu"(つ） sounds like the "ts" in "cats."
I don't really understand the second part of your question, so I apologize for not answering it.

Try this: say this aloud
EIGHT SUITS
And again,
EIGHT SUITS
Now say fast twice:
EIGHT SUITS EIGHT SUITS
Check out what happens in between the two words - when eighT ends and you begin with SUits - there is a sound of T SU going on there.
That's the closest TSU sound of the Japanese つ pronunciation!

I have to give you a virtual high five on that one! That was clever!
Arigato Derek-san!
Truth be said... source unknown, but I heard it once through a Japanese student of mine who was reciting - EIGHT SUITS EIGHT SUITS - upon inquiring what all these "suits" was about - I found out it was a drill to master the "TSU" in Japanese. So... the student's are the clever ones!

That's even more epic... Unfortunately I wasn't that clever and just learned it through practicing somehow or another..
Derek-san,
Surely you had your own unique technique to practice - and it was as clever as it could be for you!
