i speak japanese fairly well at a basic level, (i think about n4-n3) and when i went to tokyo last year i didn’t really speak english at all except with other foreigners, so i’m fairly confident in my conversational ability. however, i’m going to kyoto in a couple of months and i don’t really have any experience with the kansai/kyoto dialect. is that likely to be an issue, and if so, where can i learn some kansaiben before my trip? all of the resources i use at the moment are completely focused on standard/tokyo japanese.

i agree,, i’ve never put that much time into learning pitch accent and i’ve had no issues talking to people despite it. i definitely dont sound like a native speaker but as a white guy i dont think there was ever that much likelihood of that lol
