Hi there!

My Chinese class is currently doing a project in which we are to record a dialogue and post the results here for feedback.

Any criticism/advice is greatly appreciated!

Zhāng Róng: Bái jiàoshòu, gōngzī de shì wǒ bù-qīngchu. Qǐng nín kàn yíxià....

Bái jiàoshòu: N. Xìn-shang shuō nǐ yìnián zhèng sìwàn bāqiānkuài qián. Yíge yuè zhèng sìqiānkuài qián. Bùbì fùshuì.

Zhāng Róng: Hǎo. Xièxie nín bāng wǒ máng.

Qǐngwèn, nín gōngzī duōshao?

Bái jiàoshòu: Ē...a....., bù-duō.

huaxia, what tantech said is like a dialogue that sounds like "A:你看起來(not sure as it sounds like zhang ze)很累,歇歇吧。B:一會兒吃飯的時候你叫我一聲啊。B:好,好。“ His/her pronunciation is not good. 吃 sounds like ji/zhi.

I just recorded my own sample for a class assignment, the sample on this post has many words that I haven't learn yet, so maybe i'll try it next time. well here is my sample, hope I can get some feedback on pronunciation.

静夜思,

床前明月光

疑是地上霜

举头望明月

底头思故乡。

Does anyone else have trouble with the pronunciation of kuàng​quán​shuǐ​? I've posted my pronunciation. For some reason it just doesn't sound right.

SillySpencer,

you really don't have to worry. It sounds absolutely fine. :D But your 水 sounds ever-so-slightly like it's on the second tone. Maybe you could go a bit deeper so it sounds more like the third. Sorry, I'm just being really pedantic.

Sima07,

it sounds really good overall but if I was to be really picky...

sìwàn bāqiānkuài qián
the ba1 sounds a little like a ba4.

Xièxie nín bāng wǒ máng.
wo3 mang2sounds a bit like wo2 mang3. Just try to swap the tones around.

Qǐng nín kàn yíxià....
Nothing wrong with that...that was perfect! :D

dehuaye,

Very impressive but I think you just need a little more work on the pronunciation of 思 and 乡. They kind of sound like "shi" and "shang" when they should be "si" and "xiang". Try not rolling your tongue as much.

Your second 明 in 举头望明月 sounded a bit different to your first one (the one you did in 床前明月光) which was perfect. :)

Zhang Rong: 白教授,工资的事我不清楚。请您看一下。。。

白教授: N... 信上说你一年挣四万八千塊錢,一個月挣四千塊錢。 不必 賦税。

Zhang Rong: 好。 谢谢您帮我忙。请问,您工姿多少?

白教授: E... a..., 不多。

If anyone have time, I would like to hear some feedback on my sample =)

Thanks for your time.

Hello everyone, just like some of the other posts above mine, I too am in the same Chinese class and picked the same dialog, though I only did half of it. Thanks for any suggestions.

Zhāng Róng: Bái jiàoshòu, gōngzī de shì wǒ bù-qīngchu. Qǐng nín kàn yíxià....

Bái jiàoshòu: N. Xìn-shang shuō nǐ yìnián zhèng sìwàn bāqiānkuài qián. Yíge yuè zhèng sìqiānkuài qián. Bùbì fùshuì.

Hi I'm also in the Chinese class like many others who have posted up their pronunciation. I would really greatly appreciate every bit of feedback!!

*I don't have a microphone so the sound isn't great, and I also know that I accidentally mispronounced shuō.

Here is the dialogue I said:

Zhāng Róng: Bái jiàoshòu, gōngzī de shì wǒ bù-qīngchu. Qǐng nín kàn yíxià....

Bái jiàoshòu: N. Xìn-shang shuō nǐ yìnián zhèng sìwàn bāqiānkuài qián. Yíge yuè zhèng sìqiānkuài qián. Bùbì fùshuì.

Zhāng Róng: Hǎo. Xièxie nín bāng wǒ máng.

Qǐngwèn, nín gōngzī duōshao?

Bái jiàoshòu: Ē...a....., bù-duō.

This comes from our class's personal finances dialogue. The file was too large to fit the whole conversation, so I only said the first part.

Zhāng Róng: Bái jiàoshòu, gōngzī de shì wǒ bù-qīngchu. Qǐng nín kàn yíxià....

Bái jiàoshòu: N. Xìn-shang shuō nǐ yìnián zhèng sìwàn bāqiānkuài qián.

I appreciate any criticisms and advice for speaking more clearly.

Thanks.

I'm a Chinese Year I student from the same University as the previous students. It would be very helpful if someone looked over my pronunciation, thank you very much.

The dialog I have performed:

Bái jiàoshòu: N. Xìn-shang shuō nǐ yìnián zhèng sìwàn bāqiānkuài qián. Yíge yuè zhèng sìqiānkuài qián. Bùbì fùshuì.

Zhāng Róng: Hǎo. Xièxie nín bāng wǒ máng.

Qǐngwèn, nín gōngzī duōshao?

Bái jiàoshòu: Ē...a....., bù-duō.
