Sawadeeka!

What can I say?! I think your Chinese was very impressive, you even picked up 儿 accent and spoke

like a real Northerner.

PS: Bomaci, I will look at that thread later, seems very intriguing. Do you know anyone who speaks

Chinese with a near-native accent due to that method? If so, any recordings?

Any more input from native speakers?

I have used the method extensively myself for quite a couple of months to improve my rhythm in

mandarin. I am not sure that I speak with a near-native accent, but many chinese people say that

my pronounciation is quite good, and I have noticed myself that many of the tone mistakes I used

to make are now gone. Why don't you try if yourself and see if it works.

whoa, pretty freakin good yo...how long u been studying? I got no comments here really about

accent corrections, I am definately not in the position to correct anyone if you know what I mean,

heh heh. I just wanted to say that your 关系不错儿 at the end of 夜生活 cracked me up! I

haven gotten looks here in 武汉 just for saying 没错, i cant imagine the reaction from my

roommate if I said something like 不错儿. ai, bei jing fang yan is still a little 逆耳 for me

I'm sorry to say...kinda rather listen to wu han hua 晓不晓滴？

great job again!

Thanks everyone for your replies.

赫杰, I have been studying off and on for about three years, although I did not really begin

studying seriously until about a year ago. Last summer I went to Beijing(as you might have

guessed) and took a summer course, so I started to imitate the local accent. I'm headed back to

China again this summer, but Shaanxi this time, so who knows how my accent will end up...

The weird thing is, I find it much easier to understand when Southern people speak Mandarin. Being

able to imitate 儿化 does not necessarily mean you'll understand it all the time...

I am not sure if I speak with a near-native accent but I recorded a short sample of myself

speaking chinese anyway. I'll let you decide if it is near-native or not. I didn't prepare any

text or anything, just recorded myself saying some sentences in chinese so there is some

hesitation on the recording.

Excellent!

The 帖 in 帖子 should be 1st tone not 3rd tone.

Well done.

Are you sure about that. In Wenlin it is listed as 3rd tone. Also attached a recording of a native

speaker who seems to disagree with you

Koneko -

Hmm... Maybe it's a regional variance?!

帖 in 请帖, I read it as 3rd tone.

But 帖 in 帖子 should be 1st tone.

Like 贴 in 张贴 is also 1st tone not 3rd tone.

Well done guys! People often compliment me on my pronunciation, but listening to you two is very

humbling.
