Abstract
Many learners of Japanese hardly pronounce the intonation on the syllabic consonant /N/ correctly. In the correct intonation the rise of pitch occurs only on /N/ not on the preceding vowel. Recently the rhythm training must be based not only on the mora but also on the syllable. But it is said that training based on the syllable might be bad effect especially on the pronunciation of intonation on /N/. In this study, I carried out the experiment comparing the pronunciation of learners trained in the syllable based class with mora based class to settle this problem.
