This video is part of the #WelcomeAboardYokosuka campaign.

Many who have been stationed in Yokosuka have heard this city pronounced in several ways. People pronounce it, ehrm, differently.

We go over the correct pronunciation in this video.

CFAY Fleet & Family Support Center offers several free opportunities to practice Japanese and experience the local culture first-hand. You want to try out your skills to gain confidence. Or you are just starting your language journey. FFSC has programs that help.
