Learn the Days of the Month with Navarr

Hey our Twitter peep @Navarr sings the days of the month in Japanese.
Nope, he’s not Japanese. His pronunciation *is* really good though.
I asked the ultimate nitpicker, my wife, and she says that though she can tell he’s not a native speaker, it’s only, なんとなく. The way a native English teacher could get an inkling that someone were not a native English speaker, even if they were totally fluent. She also said that if she were his teacher she wouldn’t have anything specific to correct about his pronunciation.
Normally I would never recommend anyone learn anything about Japanese pronunciation from a non-native speaker, but listening to this won’t do you any harm!
