triple disclaimer: this is just for English! say the T in Okamoto the same way you would the 'T' in water in your accent. and please do not try to say my name in Japanese if we are otherwise speaking English

@kodyisover.comPitch accent aside, I think the biggest difference between how I say my name in English vs in Japanese is something my partner pointed out! When we say my surname in English, the '-to'（と）goes from the Japanese [to] to a very soft alveolar tap [ɾo] (the same type of 't' in American English 'water')
