I have no trouble reading Japanese, but the rapid speaking and slurring together of close syllables is driving me crazy. (I didn’t have access to conversational Japanese until recently) Is it context based how you separate the words or am I missing some audible clue? The most basic example would be ex. ーていきます vs. ーてきます sound exactly the same. It gets far worse with the homophones in the more complicated arrangements. Any help?
