Master Chinese “j q x” and “zh ch sh” | Pronunciation Training

Oh my god this video series helped so much! I used the IPA for any new language I learn but the images made it 10x better. Thank you so much!

This is definitely the best video/explanation/demonstration ever available! I won’t even watch any others after this!👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

WOHOHO, WHAT'S THIS? Perfection, this video is more helpful than the website I used.

Your pronunciation does not match the written IPA.
You pronounce it like this (written in IPA):
j=t(j)i
q=t(j)s(j)i
x=s(j)i

Perhaps these are allophones, but I distinguish between the sounds that you write and those that you pronounce.
You can not trust me - check for yourself.

im being honest... WTF IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHI AND ZH ADFHJIAHSFIJABEFIUABFC

zh zh ch zh sh (⁠；⁠^⁠ω⁠^⁠）

super helpful! 谢谢你！

I wish I watched this sooner! I got an explanation when I first started learning but it was oversimplified so I was doing something a little bit wrong even though it sounded the same to me, now with a proper explanation I can hear the difference and it's helping me pronounce more like a native speaker

I used to think, I gues like most people did, that zh and j was pronounced the same but it’s not ofc

The zh ch sh r series has the open voiced sound of r. Except for the r, the j q x series corresponds one-on-one to it. But wait! Isn't y this missing sound corresponding to r? In fact, if you listen to natives, the y often has a little of the sound of r in it, when it's not silent before the vowel i.

谢谢您😊

Excellent videos!

THIS IS SO HELPFUL!!!

Wow, I need a second cup of coffee Grace.

just want to say thank u xiexie

Definitely record yourself saying these. It sounds so different to yourself compared to hearing it outside yourself. That's why the x sound sounds so much like an sh sound to English speakers, because it really does sound like that when you yourself aren't saying it, but it's different when you're saying it

😆❤️❤️❤️

To learn chinese language is very difficult to pronounce 😪😪 i tried to do my best but i can't to do well 😭😭

I couldn't understand the differences between these sounds but you have given a good explanation, for which I am grateful. As I understand it now, this is the rule.
The consonant still sounds the same, whether followed by /i/ or not, and despite the differences in articulation, but I now know, when reading pinyin, that if /j/, /q/ or/x/ is followed by /i/ it is articulated with the tongue down in the forward position and the lips wide, and the /i/ is pronounced as /ee/. For /zh/, /ch/, /sh/, /r/, /z/, /c/ or /s/, the tongue is always up and back and, if followed by /i/, this is not pronounced as /ee/.
Please correct me if I have got it wrong.

hello ,nihao,,aun estas enseñando , me gusto felicidades y buen año nuevo,,,del conejo eres de taiwan saludos desde lima peru

謝謝！

“j” n “q” are affricates that start with “t” which has the tip of the tongue touching behind upper front teeth, not the front part of tongue to block air flowing through.

easy to understand. I love it. Thank you laoshi.

great!

I don't get this why Millennials keep hating on Gen Z. Maybe it's because they going through a mid life crisis(or "third life crisis" since that's a new term the younger ones use), but it's honestly so stupid because every single critique they have about Gen Z is something they started and do far more.


Let's be honest, are we really going to forget the Blue haired feminist era of the late 2000s / early 2010s. It was Millennials that came with the 1001 gender pronouns. It's pretty funny they pin this on Gen Z considering how not Politically correct Gen Z is. We don't say "that's lame", we say "that's gay", we make "it's a trap" and gay jokes constantly. Hell, Gen Z is more likely to be Right-wing than Millennials and everyone knows how Republicans feel about someone calling themselves Xi or Xir which even by the somewhat ridiculous of the name you can tell it was created by adult Millennials who didn't have to go to high school everyday because you'd be bullied with a swiftness in pretty any High School in America or wherever if you came around wanting people to call you Xi.

I get that Millennials are embarrassed of the overly soft/offended, Avocado toast reputation, but retroactively pinning it on Gen Z when people have memory and know all these things are things Millennials do is pretty low, even for the most annoying Generation. There's a reason why Baby Boomers complained about you guys and not Gen X or Gen Z.

Sooooo much help. Thank you. Now I can say “xie xie” and not “shay shay”.

I like chinese language madame

Thank you so much for this

It's so weird because I feel like I can hear the difference in all of them, but I can't pronounce them yet to save my life.

this is madness ...

This helps so much!!

Thank you very much, this was really helpful. 你太漂亮！

Well

THANK YOU
