In this video, I will show you a better way to understand Japanese pitch accent. In most Japanese course books and schools, they explain the pitch accent (if they explain it at all) in terms of High Pitch and Low Pitch, and that's how the pitch is marked in Japanese dictionaries. But in reality pitch goes up and down smoothly, so the way they show accent in Japanese dictionaries is not only confusing but also incorrect.
