[P0mpan]

Is it just me or does it sound like she's trying to say French and France at the same time? "Frens" I would be at a dead stop here without the lyrics xD

[MinnaXiao]

@P0mpan Oh, thanks. I guess you are right. We will try put more attention on the pronunciation of English words. Sorry for any misunderstanding.

@MinnaXiao

well my parents are chinese so I understand chinese but I want to get better with talking chinese and reading

[MinnaXiao]

@LSeiraL Wow. It could be easier for you to learn Chinese, since you could practice speaking Chinese a lot. 加油！

[pinyinhead]

I can't pronounce the pinyin word "ren" to save my life!!! Please give us pointers on how to pronounce "ren" (person) please. thanks.

[MrSuperManson]

@pinyinhead easy! the "R" in chinese is not like the "R" in english

Look "Ren" would be like: Shrek! that's it, like Shrek! but here you have to say: Shren!

so the "R" in chinese is like "shrek" without the "k"

fa guo ren = fa guo (shren) :P

[pinyinhead]

@MrSuperManson yes! a big thanks to you!!!

[MinnaXiao]

@MrSuperManson Good explanation. Well done.

[MinnaXiao]

@pinyinhead Hi, you should pronounce r like r in road, but with the tongue loosely rolled in the middle of the mouth.

For example:

很热 hěn rè

In the final position R is pronounced more like English R.

玩儿 wánr 一点儿 yīdiǎnr (pronounced yīdiǎr)

R was chosen in pinyin to represent the sound but you should be guided by the Chinese pronunciation rules not by equivalent letters in English. Listening to recordings or listening to the native speakers is the best way to get your sounds right.

[pinyinhead]

[pinyinhead]

zhou means "continent" so Africa is a continent it is called FEIZHOU(FAY-ZHO) is this correct teacher?

Canada is "jiannada" (jee-ahn-nah-dah)

[MinnaXiao]

@pinyinhead Yes, you are right. Hope you make more progress with us.:P

[MinnaXiao]

@pinyinhead Yes, you are totally right.
