Stop Pronouncing These Chinese Sounds WRONG| zh ch sh | z c s | j q x | Improve in 10 Mins!

Very helpful video, thanks! I think the "r" consonant, like in 人, is deceptively difficult to get 100% right for westerners. They just default to the "r" in "road", but to my ear it's not similar to that at all. The vibration should be way in front of the mouth, basically in the teeth.

你就是最好的，没有争论的余地，这是一个裁决。Im still a beginner so I used google translate so if its mistranslated its not my fault😂. You are great

This is truly one of the best videos demonstrating how to pronounce the unique Chinese sounds for beginners! I appreciate it.

Wonder why I have not seen this before?! Very well explained! This has been a great help towards improving my pronunciation! Thank you for posting this!!!

Your explanation of the zh, ch, sh is the best. I've seen so many other places where they have these ridiculous illustrations to curly your tongue back in an impossible position that quite frankly makes the sounds come out sounding silly. So, I naturally changed it to the way you're showing it in order to reproduce the sound. Glad you confirmed this position for me.

In my hungarian languege there are no aspirated consonants. Instead of them there are... I dont know the proper english words for them. Distinguished by using vocal cords or not. Eg. in case of B-P, G-K, and D-t pairs. Our "R" is similar to japanese one. When it comes to chinese Ji,Qi Xi, we absolutely do not have even similar consonants. So we and our laoshi coudnt decide that which is more difficult: chinese pkonetics for us or hungarian for her. Not even mentioned wowels.... 😆

J/Q is my pain 🥲

Just what I was looking for!

"In a lot of dialect areas, mostly in south China, most people don't really distinguish zi ci si and zhi chi shi." Hallelujah! It's time to switch from Mandarin to one of those dialect.

Laoshi, I want join your couse, but.... I need your help

This video was incredibly helpful! But I'm getting confused about the "s" and "x" sounds 😭

I am surprised that a professional teacher doesn't realise this, but the reason foreign speakers pronounce b as English b and not as p is much simpler than the vocal chords story. It's because of Pinyin: we, stupid learners, are shown b and pronounce b. It would be perverse to put down b and expect people to magically know that it should be pronounced p. The system of teaching Chinese is rigged up against learners and makes learning Chinese unnecessarily difficult. If the same people are taught in effective ways, you'd be amazed how well those same vocal chords can pronounce Chinese sounds.

You talk way too fast..... Slow down! Your accent and your speed make it difficult to follow.

Hello Ms, how to pronounce initial d and b in Chinese clearly? Is it similar d in do and b in boy in English? Thanks

Two much faster hard for new beginners to understand

Thank you very much

Very difficult

My Chinese pronunciation was already hard enough before she decided to throw in the tongue twister at the end! 😝

You’re both hilarious and a great teacher!

Thanks for the great and informative video! I always confuse between chu & qu, How can I distinguish between the two?

Thank you a lot you did a good job I hope I can learn more from you can you make more Chinese videos

How do you speak Chinese😊😮😅❤

The best teacher I ever knew 4 Chinese

Slow down please 😮

好美好漂亮的美女老师

Thanks

Rita Laoshi i admire your work! I came to China alone at 16 and studied Chinese from Intermediate level in Beiyu 北语, so I never got the chance to differentiate and break down the pronunciation TTTT i just had to learn it by listening to my chinese yuban语伴 ， by copying what they were saying and the sounds they were making. Now i live in Hong Kong and all my HK friends are always baffled when I open my mouth and speak a mouthful of Mandarin without any foreigner accent QwQ so whenever my friends ask me about tips to learn perfect mandarin I always send them your videos since no one else but you has always the best Chinese learning tips , Rita laoshi 万岁万万岁！！！爱你！！！！！！！

Hi Rita! Absolutely loved the video, super super helpful! I have question though - I've heard it recommended by some people to delay speaking for a bit while focussing on heaps of listening input as a way to improve pronunciation and avoid drilling bad habits right in the beginning. (For context, I can't afford a teacher currently, and really don't want to pick up bad habits). What are your thoughts on this?

This is exactly what i needed, i am still struggling to hear a difference between Ci / Si and Qi / Xi. But maybe more listening will help.

Thanks!

Hi 👋😊
I don't hear the difference between "q and ch", can you compare this in a video please

>when you didn't know you were pronouncing it wrong
wow, thanks. very helpful.

Some people claim "x" sounds like "sh" but it always sounds much closer to "s" to me

Poor John Cena. Lol

Rita, your beautiful!

I like watching. I appreciate ur effort. I think most ur vids are useful, and I think smart people can get something from this vid. But that being said I think u literally just screwed a lot of people up by way way way overcomplicating how much effort u need to speak Chinese. Sorry for my comment. Also any sweety want to get married, just hit me up in my email. thx! ;)

Im a beginner and doing a self study in mandarin so i hope this could help me a lot

Thank you

Not sure whether I could do much of it now since my tongue muscle in my throat deep down is still torn and one part of my brain is not working or missing, since I am going through a blocked mental mind condition.

j q x and sh zh, ch ere invented
and added by N Chinese in.1500s
They also dropped 5 consonants at end of syllables--- k p t glottal
stop. m. and invented new. vowels

Tomorrow I have to announce 400 Chinese names (out of 1200 student names total) at a university convocation ceremony. Graduates' families will be there. I know I'll amke many mistakes but I have to try to get close to correct pronunciation.

OMG you're good! Thanks.

My top tips, get your self a Chinese girl friend, and a good teacher, you will learn loads, promise,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍

Holy shit. The energy alone she exuded made me sub to the channel ...am a Nigerian that has decided to learn mandarin...really tough 4 me to make some of the sounds ...hope ur video helps

I love the brave lessons you have been putting out beautiful!

As a native norwegian, I think the consonants are quite easy to distinguish. My pronunciation is not perfect, but I know how they are supposed to sound. I actually think the vowel sounds like in 四 Sì and 女 nǚ are much harder because they feel so weird to pronounce.

终于找到了这个视频。 十分感谢老师🥺🥺 您解释得很清楚。 辛苦了，老师💛💛
