[quote=RITA ,23075]Hey you noticed that?! Good!Ten=shiFour=siYes= shiThere are no other way to pronounce the above words, so they were wrong, and you were right, Kyle:-) Usually southern Chinese have stiff tougues, in many southern province, people have difficulty to pronounce the sound of 'sh' in pinyin, it's very hard for them to curl their tongues. shi -> si, shen-> sen, shui -> sui... ...Another mispronunciation made by southern Chinese is you hear no difference between "L" and "N".Mispronunciations are not only the patent of southern people, people from north China are not better. In a few regions/ provinces I've ever lived in northwest China, quite a lot of people have difficulty to distinguish "en"and "eng" and "in" and "ing" and "un" and "o/ung", this last one actually does not exist in Chinese pinyin. There are less mistakes in north pronunciations because the standard Putonghua was set largely by the standard of north dialects. That is the given advange:)Hey I am kidding about southern people's tougues, sorry! but what can anyone here give me a more reasonable explanation:-) LoL[/quote]
