Understanding the Japanese Writing System Academia Cervena 2017-02-11 | Japanese writing uses not only one—but three different scripts! At the same time! Why? And how does this work? In this video you’ll get to familiarize yourself with kanji, hiragana and katakana, and learn how they interact with each other to create the unique synthesis of written Japanese. If you don't have any previous knowledge of Japanese writing, this is a good place to start!Note that this video focuses on how the three scripts are *used*, and how they relate to each other. It does *not* present the various characters from each script, or explain how the scripts function on a deeper systematic level.NOTES• For answers to frequent comments, please see the pinned comment below.ERRATA• At 2:02, the characters ほ / ホ are incorrectly given as 'ha'. They really represent 'ho'. 'Ha' is represented by は / ハ.• At 5:04, the kanji is wrong. The kanji for 'muda' is 無駄, and not 鮫 (which is the kanji for 'same', used previously).———The study mentioned in the video is « Chikamatsu et al. 2000.

The territory corresponded to the Smederevo Sanjak/Belgrade Pashalik region.• The Kiurin khanate in the north Caucasus should be called 'Kurin'.• The two (artificial) lakes in present-day Ukraine did not exist in 1815.———Music by Magne Johansensoundcloud.com/user-158730231———FOLLOW / SUPPORTYoutube: youtube.com/c/AcademiaCervenaFacebook: facebook.com/academiacervenaPatreon: patreon.com/academiacervena———CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction00:33 Background01:49 Redrawing the map11:31 Reflections———

Ruotsin kielen ääntämisen pikakurssi Academia Cervena 2016-12-01 | Miten ruotsia äännetään? Älä huoli! Tässä videossa käyn läpi ruotsin kielen ääntämyksen kannalta tärkeimmät seikat: vokaalit, konsonantit, pituus ja painotus. En selitä yksityiskohtaisesti kuinka ruotsin kieltä äännetään, vaan annan kokonaiskuvan siitä, miten järjestelmä toimii. Näin saat huomattavasti paremman yleisymmärryksen ääntämyksestä, ja vakaan perustan, jolle voit kehittää ääntämystäsi eteenpäin. Koska kaikki äännejärjestelmän osat ovat koko ajan keskenään vuorovaikutuksessa, on yleiskatsauksen hankkiminen ensiksi ehdottoman hyvä idea! Suomenkieliselle ruotsin – ja etenkin suomenruotsin – ääntämys ei ole kovinkaan vaikeaa (sen lupaan), vaikka se ensi näkemältä voikin siltä joskus vaikuttaa.———En oikeastaan itse puhu kovinkaan paljon suomea, ja olen tämän takia saanut hyvin paljon apua kielen kanssa eräältä nimettömältä ystävältä.

Sveriges gränser från 1150 till idag Academia Cervena 2016-08-16 | Sverige har inte alltid haft den form som det har idag. Ända sedan landets bildande har dess gränser ändrats och justerats, om och om igen. Krig, nybyggande och diplomati har lett till att nya områden tillkommit och att andra försvunnit. Många landskap som idag är självklart svenska har varit del av Sverige kortare tid än många som inte längre är det.I den här filmen visas Sveriges territoriella utbredning från ca 1150 till idag, 2016, med varje gränsförändring förklarad och satt i sin kontext.———Kom ihåg att det här är en populärvetenskaplig film, och att vissa förenklingar har varit nödvändiga vad gäller årtal och omständigheter.
