[quote=A_WORLD_AWAY,380386]today i was listening to a chinese couple over dinner. while they talked, it sounded like a beautiful humming and mixture of melodic notes - and i was transported back to china, listening to many people talking while i watched the water at the Summer Palace or some other similar place. i have been learning chinese for a while now, and consider myself intermediate. when i read pinyin, i pronounce everything how it is supposed to be pronounced according to the script, and my friends say i pronounce well... but i feel i dont have that special chinese accent, like a humming. there is a unique way they say their zi, chi, ts, q, etc etc - which makes it sound like a buzzing song. it is very beautiful. so im simply wondering, can anyone give me some tips or ideas to attain a better chinese accent? i want to speak as naturally as possible, and im not satisfied with the fact that my friends think my accent is good... i want it to be fluent.

thanks a lot! i hope someone can help me!
