So… if the use of intonation is such a huge thing in high context culture, such as Japan, I find myself wondering how singing works. Or maybe I have it wrong, but I thought their intonation was very subtle and is mostly the reason why native Japanese speakers have a hard time understanding foreigners. Correct me if I’m wrong, I was just listening to a song and wondering of the intonation of these words if he wasn’t singing them. That’s all! Thanks for reading! :)
