Discover what you need for finding your Mandarin voice, and FINALLY hear natives clearly and sound natural in Chinese!
In this video, we’re gonna learn how to understand Chinese people from Beijing and generally northern China when they start speaking fast in real life!
Basically, a LOT of words end up being pronounced pretty differently from how they show up in your Chinese textbooks, so even if you’ve been studying for a long time, it might be hard to understand natives!
If you’ve ever been to Beijing, you’re probably familiar with the “pirate-like” ARRR (also known as 儿化) that’s typical there and throughout most of Northern China, as well as Sichuan and Chongqing.
You might also have heard the classic “Bu’r dao” from a Beijing taxi driver, but the thing is that all of these pronunciation features have rules, and learning them will REALLY help you understand fast Chinese speech better.
PLUS, not only will this help improve your listening skills, it’ll make you sound more authentic (地道 dìdao) when speaking! Who doesn’t want that!
Today we cover:
00:00 Intro
00:21 How textbook Mandarin and REAL Mandarin are different
01:20 Neutral tones & Rhythm in Standard Mandarin and Beijing Mandarin
02:56 How Tones are exaggerated in Bejing Mandarin
03:54 ERHUA (The R sound) sound in Beijing Mandarin
06:42 When Beijingers use 您
07:36 Commonly-Used Pronouns are pronounced differently
09:06 When “w” becomes “v”
09:45 Finals “a/e/en” are easily dropped or softened
10:39 When “zh/sh” become “r”
11:54 When “j” becomes “y”
12:16 "Y" could be dropped
12:26 "H" could be dropped
13:20 The VERY Beijing “th” sound
14:01 How syllables merge
14:24 NEVER change the beginning of a sentence
Remember, Chinese makes perfect sense!

That was really entertaining to watch, I understand nothing 😅
11:43 as someone who's been learning Chinese for 3 years, this just kills my brain in a second.
Hahaha glad you found it helpful😄😄
It's been a year for me, I don't know how to feeeeel
I've been learning for 6 years (which I guess you have probably been too, by now, since this is an old comment), and I think my Chinese is decent, but there's no way I ever would have understood that line without subtitles!
Imagine how confusing it is for a new learner 😬
This is far and away the best I have seen on syllable reduction in Chinese. I always asked my Chinese teachers about this but they practically denied its existence. I am a linguist and teach English pronunciation at a detailed level. This is something that I have always wanted to see. Excellent!!!!!!!!!!! It would be great to hear something similar about Mandarin as spoken in Shanghai, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Kunming. In Shanghai, I had to figure out that "vuh" was "five" and bæ /æ = the a in "cat"/ was one hundred. People from Hunan said /f/ for /h/ and /l/ for /n/ (so, Fulan). In the south, when speaking Mandarin (I will learn Cantonese in the next life), "s' and "sh" is pronounced the same. Chinese is so rich but very confusing for poor Laowais who know "pure Mandarin", more or less, have not been told about this.
Yes! This was very cool - would love to see more with various regional accents- haven't heard anyone break down accents this well.
I think this is a very relevant observation. Unless we, the learner, know that we'll be going to a specific place in China ans staying there for a while, it will help avoid a lot of confusion if we approach teachers who are from Beijing area, generally speaking. It makes no sense to try to understand all the variations at once. It's both simpler and sanity-preserving to work for some time with a teacher with clear but to exaggerated Beijing pronunciation and branch out to dialectal pronunciations of Putonghua once the flow of the language has been internalised.
你太好了老师！！this goes wayy beyond just talk about 儿化音, it’s so Informative!! Also that bar at the bottom was so satisfying loll! I thought I was going crazy myself when I heard “yinvei” instead of yinwei from a actor in 陈庆玲哈哈哈
哈哈哈谢谢你！太开心了😊😆 It did take a lot of effort to put everything together! So happy you liked it!!
Yeah I think not many Chinese people even realized the w-v thing. You (musician?) have good ears!!
Learn Chinese with Rita haha thank you! I am a musician I play 二胡😂
Learn Chinese with Rita I’ve been wondering about the w-v thing for months as well, thank you for all of these explanations!
My huge pleasure😊😄 Haha you’re really listening to the sounds! Keep it up👍🙌
谢谢老师！！This is soooooo helpful; it's so annoying that they don't teach this in Chinese classes because I'm sure everyone can understand the frustration of learning Chinese for years but not being able to understand almost anything native speakers say. I've been trying to listen to more native speakers lately and it's helping a lot.
Also the same thing definitely happens a lot in English as I'm sure you know. But one example that I find really funny is "I don't know." Just like 我不知道→不儿道, we get soooo lazy when we say "I don't know" (first of all we almost never pronounce the T, at least in America) and it kind of gets lazier and lazier like this: I don't know → I don'no → I-own-no → and then if we are being super lazy it literally ceases to be words anymore. 😂 It just turns into "uh-uh-uh" or "mm-Mm-mm" with the same rising and falling tone you would use to say "I don't know."
~:~
Yes! Native speakers are almost never aware of the process... so if your teachers weren't explicitly taught this, there's a good chance they really don't know. Just like I'm pretty sure most of the young Americans who have taught English in China don't know, either.
I've been looking for this kind of info for a loong time. The only reduction I knew about was 给我... => go... (the Chinese analog of "give me..." => "gimme..."). I have no idea how to write that reduction (or any other) in hanzi!
Here's Homer Simpson giving a perfect example of how to reduce "I do not know" to a few vowels and some weak partial glottal stops:

imao i tried to say i don't know and just realized i basically just make the sound i un o xD
@@stevenlk You don't even need to open your mouth to say it
my boyfriend's parents are 北京人，so this is perfect thank you so much 😭 I started learning so I can talk to them, but sometimes the accent and speed makes it difficult. your video really helped!!
just found your channel -- I'm not sure if I'll ever find the time or patience to learn Chinese, but your videos break the language down so well and make it interesting to those of us who know none of the language. Very nice! Keep up the great work
Incredible video! My parents went to school in Beijing and I grew up learning Chinese from them- but I didn't realize I ended up picking up a lot of these linguistic habits. This helps explain a lot of the subtle differences I've been seeing when actually studying 普通话 on my own.
Oh, and now I finally understand why people I talk to say I have a "Beijing" accent lol
I am so thankful for RUclips that gives access to so many helpful videos that they never teach in school Chinese classes!
This video is super complete, I now have a lot to sink in! It's really difficult to understand spoken Chinese so this video will be of great help! Could never thank you more!!
Immediately shared this with my FB group members!! What a mind opening video even for Chinese speakers! ;)
Aww thank you so much Lin Laoshi!! SO happy that you liked my video😄🙌❤
11:43 was a mind blower
Wow, I wish I subscribed to you when I moved to Beijing from the south a year ago - this is the one thing that I struggle with when I watch Chinese tv and I have to rely on the Chinese subtitles! Amazing job! :)
厉害厉害厉害！🤣
Super thorough with the sounds, and hilarious editing!
Thank you SOOO much!!!❤️it’s one of the most useful video about Chinese I’ve ever seen
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Thank you for this analysis!
A true gem! The rosetta stone which is key to unlock native spoken chinese in tv, radio etc. 谢谢您^^
The most useful part of this was wen you talked about the things that DON'T happen even though you might logically expect them to. Was not sure whether 人儿 would be said regionally, and it is good to be reminded that it can't be used EVERYWHERE. I am currently learning a lot of spoken Chinese from my daughter's playmates' mothers, and after a while it starts to feel like anything can be er-hua'd. So specific limitations like this are helpful.
Thank you! I've been on the lookout for info on Mandarin reductions for more than a year! :)
Absolutely amazing video! And it clearly shows how much effort you put into it!!!
辛苦了！加油老师！谢谢您！
Aww 谢谢你!! Really appreciate your words and support😄❤🙌
I know Cantonese and able to understand Mandarin when spoken slowly due to similarities. When I travelled to Beijing, I was often clueless as to what people were saying.This video explains a lot...
"JUST PERFECT!" Me ayudo muchisimo el video!! Thank you so much!!
De nada! Encantando de ayudar😊
what a perfect video!
this is so hard to get used to, but fortunatelly there are good teacher to make it easier
Fanlaoshi!!! Please do more Beijing dialect videos! I want to master my Chinese speaking with Beijing accent.
Thank you for letting me know that, Jessica! The next Beijinghua video is in making! 😄🙌
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot.
🙋🏻♀️We all know 天津花 is the best/most entertaining! I lived in Tianjin for several years and is where I learnt majority of my Mandarin skills so people laugh when my 天津花儿 is unexpectedly heavy sometimes. Sending best wishes to you! I love your channel 🇨🇳❤️
I ♥ this video. What a thorough explanation of the Northern Mandarin accent.
I've just got to say that I feel a special attraction to the sound of Beijing Mandarin!
Best video about Beijing accent on RUclips!
Will def make more😆🙌
Rita老师！！你是个鹿饭不😂剪得太好了i了i了 The production quality is mindblowing!! I love love love everything about this -- the info content, the edit, the humor, the lighting, your makeup etc. Subscribed in a heartbeat & shared with my friends.
This was so nice! I learnt a lot!
Glad it was helpful for you!😊😊
this is so interesting and useful!! i'll start my bachelor's degree in Beijing this year, so I'll definitely watch this video many many times. 谢谢老师！！！
Yayyy welcome to Beijing Diana!! Haha glad my video helps with your new life😄🙌 不客气！！

Very complete and useful videos 😊!
Yayyy so happy that you found it helpful! 新年快乐🥳🎈🎊
another great video, thank you!
这个视频太棒了！有用得很，谢谢您。 希望您为我们录制更多这样的视频。
This is probably the most important video I watched on my learning journey sofar! Thankyou! I commented your video "Five things you must know about Chinese" about my difficulties to distinguish tones in a movie (The 9th precinct). With the information of this video I know where to look! I know from my experiences in learning English to fluency both in British and in American English, that one CAN dig these things up with a lot of slow mo listening, but it costs a lot of time! I did it native in the same language family with unlimited access to material! Finding Chinese materials costs much more effort! This video is precious! Thank you!💐🤗🚀👩🚀❤💐 I have one question about your teaching: when do you introduce these derivations from the standard, i.e. when do you introduce everyday language habits and dialect? Clearly solid foundations of the standard have to be build first, but some of the differences look very profound and seem to permeate the practice of spoken Mandarin deeply! It seems to me that if one doesn't train once ear at least with some of the "big ones" from early on, the transition to "real life" Chinese could mean learning another language, almost from scratch.
Seems now you know that there are a lot more neutral tones in Beijinghua than in Putonghua😄 And that's a good question that I didn't think about so much. Some of my students started acquiring these informal/dialect pronunciation features earlier than others as they had more communication with natives or they are more sensitive to sounds (by playing musical instruments or acting). My thought on this for now is that once the Chinese learner has fully "mastered" the basic standard pronunciation system, i.e. the consonants, vowels and tones, they can start practicing sentences with syllables connected or even slurred together a bit. And if they live in a Chinese environment. they can even start to learn, at least to understand, the more native/informal/derived features of the sounds.
This was an excellent video!
Wow, at 5:06 when you said wanr, panr, shaor, it really reminded me of a Northern Irish accent! It is even common to illustrate our hard r sound by saying ‘power shower’.
Great explanations. Thank you Rita..
Glad it was helpful!
范爷威武，视频太棒了♥
A little interesting fact about beijing accent: generally, northern beijing accent is more like standard mandarin chinese, and southern beijing has more lazy pronunciation. also, if you traveled 40 miles(65km) northwest or northeast of the central beijing, you certainly will noticed the locals had totally different accent, that would be Yan Qing Hua (延庆话) and Ping Gu Hua (平谷话), which all have their unique pronunciation. however, about 100 miles(160km) north of beijing, people of Cheng De county (承德) speak almost exactly same as beijing accent.
Hi 老师！Thank you for making this video, I'm glad that I found this video because I am looking a video that explains beijing accent. I hope you can make more videos about Beijing Accent Mandarin. Thank you!!
This video needs more views omg
Can't agree more haha! Thank you for watching!!
Loved the details. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! Glad you like my content!
Wow I stumbled upon this channel an this is a fun topic I'd never seen broken down like this. Subbed.
Hey Joe! Thanks for subscribing and liking my content!! Now videos are coming up😄
您太棒了！！！ 拜托您继续做这么好的视频！好好干，我很期待！
Omg I wanted to know for the longest time if a guy I dated (or tried to 🤣) just has a crazy strong lisp or if it is a crazy strong northern accent.. Well turns out it's the second. He"d say "thenme thou" (怎么走) etc and it was just IMPOSSIBLE to guess what he was saying... I was looking for the longest time for a video like this cause I really wanted to learn to understand shows and series with northern accents but I would always rely so much on subtitles. Now I feel like at least I have something to study to stand a chance lol
Thanks so much
Now i know what my friends mean when they say my chinese has a lotta 北京味儿😅 didn't even realize I did a lot of these!! Reminds my of my college friend who would come practice Chinese with me and would try to slap 儿on the end of every new vocab word we had learned
My new favourite chinese learning channel!
Hahah welcome!! Been waiting for you for a while😄😆
The examples are helpful
Great video! Can't wait to return to China and to BJ. Thanks. I'm subscribed now.
Thanks!! Glad you liked it😄😄
Finally! This will surely help me when listening and talking to Beijingers.
Perfect!!!! ❤❤❤
I totally got this one at the end:
问你一下，洗手间怎么走 ？
哇。。 太快了😅😅
I used to wonder why Chinese people would say 多少钱 so quickly it sounded like 多儿钱 haha
Thank you for the Great video!
very useful for our listening practice
✌
太棒了！我真的说得很快了😆 And Bejinger prob would say “问您一下”😄😄 “多少钱” is just too much work to pronounce the “sh” sound hahaha! I’m so happy you found it useful!
Love you!
The best video for learning Mandarin so far. Teacher Fan, how different are Singaporean and Malaysian Mandarin compares to the the Standard Mandarin?
Very helpful 谢谢你
不客气！很高兴你觉得我的视频对你有帮助！❤
Beijing accent sounds so cool wow I loved it indeed 👍
范儿老师，您太棒了!
哈哈哈谢谢捧场！真的已经拼了😆🤪💪
omg didn't know about "th"!! 哈哈哈哈 超喜欢这个视频!! 谢谢!
哈哈不客气！很开心你喜欢啊😊🙌
You would be my best Chinese 老师
My first Chinese professor in college was from Beijing and I definitely noticed the zheige instead of zhege (这个) pronunciation, I always kept thinking she was randomly saying my name 😭🤣 I also vividly remember when she would say 电影, to me it sounded more like dianyung instead of dianying and that always threw me off
should be DianY(er)ing😆
作为一个北京人，乱七八糟的外语学了一大堆，今天头一次好好学习北京话。范老师是我第一个订阅的中文学习频道。>_
哈哈欢迎老乡，多交流啊😆🙌
GREAT VIDEO! Wow
Thanks!! Glad you liked it😄🙌🎉
i did not realize how different beijing accent was!!! 北京是我的最喜欢的中国城市
It was less different than Putonghua comparing to other dialects, but it’s still a dialect and can be confusing sometimes😆😊 你在北京生活过吗？还去过哪些城市吗？
All I can say after all this is… thank God for captions.
这视频是在做的太好太全了，我已经安利给所有想学中文的外国小伙伴了，毕竟还是要他们知道北京话才是中国话的King
嗷嗷谢谢谢谢！哈哈要是在北方方言区生活的话这个视频和其他将北京话的应该会有帮助的😁🙌❤
Like this kind video!
Jaiou.
谢谢！Jiāyóu!
为范老师点赞！如果范老师想出一版Southern Accent Explained, I mean 粤方言区哈哈哈！小谢一定鼎力相助！
哇谢谢谢老师😊❤️ 我确实对粤方言一直很感兴趣，也希望有机会能向你好好请教一下啊！不知道怎么联系您？
Learn Chinese with Rita 哇别说请教！我向范老师多学习才是！欢迎范老师加我微信呀: xxxxxxwj☺️
好嘞加起！
So goodr
As a beginner chinese learner I can say it was a mistake watching this video. My anxiety shot through the roof and the words "impossible to learn" flashed before my eyes. But you explained it very nicely. I just wish people would stop dropping sounds. Really, chinese words are short enough already :)))
Cool! I love learning about dialects. I'm obsessed with 四川话... it's interesting to learn about 北京话 as well.
I found 辽宁话 very difficult, even though it's also 北方语, I couldn't understand much... I only remember they say Y instead of R, for example 肉 they say yòu 😅
Haha did you live in 辽宁 for a while? It does take time to get used to the pronunciation patterns if you move to a new region, even though it's still in the Mandarin area. But you already got one of the most significant difference of 东北话 from 普通话! As for 四川话, I believe there are some Sichuan dialect channels on RUclips😄
一个南方孩子来学习了，姐说得真好😃
哈哈谢谢，有收获就好！也欢迎交流南北方方言的区别呀，互相学习😊😊
I’m watching this video for the 5time now
谢谢谢谢😆😆 听清楚最后的几句话了吗？🙃😁
谢谢你啊💗
不客气啊！很开心你喜欢我的视频😊🙌❤️
Now I understand why Chris speaks such authentic Beijing Mandarin.
haha he already spoke super 地道 Beijinghua when I met him a couple years ago😆
Very nice! English: let's go eat --> squeet. Let's go --> sko. Etc.
Very interesting. But for those who are not fluent in Mandarin yet, I guess you don't want to spend too much effort in learning Beijing dialects. My uni teacher was born in Beijing, he said he always spoke standard Mandarin and avoided speaking like those people in HuTong.
Hey Max! Totally agree with your teacher - as professional Mandarin teachers (me being a Beijinger born and raised in Beijing as well), we always speak and teach standard Mandarin at class. But if the learners ever study or live in China, especially in Beijing, they just can't avoid to meet local people with Beijing accent as well as different accents from northern and southern areas, outside of class, and most of the time, they'll have to try to communicate with each other. So my video was meant to help people who live there struggling to understand the local accent, like taxi drivers and shop assistant. It's def not necessary for Chinese learners to learn the accent themselves haha.
@@RitaChinese Love your channel. Subscribed!
Great, thanks!! Glad you like them😊
If you have a northerner Chinese wife, it's better if you learn all of this LOL especially if they're from Beijing (or they like pretending they're from Beijing HA!)
@@user-xt7qb8ep6w Hahaha that's a good reason to dive into Beijing accent a bit more. And as a matter of fact - some Beijingers' accent is heavier than others😉
the 'th' sound is new to me. I knew some people from beijing who still didn't pronounce the 'th' sound when speaking english
Yeah definitely. Like I said in the video, the ”th” sound is a super Beijinger accent that only some people from southern city would have. And it’s not common to see young generation has it any more.

今年17了，中文从小说到大，今天才发现国语这么tm复杂。日常里根本不会去刻意的留意这种东西。不过我的理由是在美国生活12年了，肯定中文不咋地。
Been speaking Chinese more or less my entire life. Learned mandarin as my first language. Up until today, never really took the time to appreciate its complexities. In day to day speaking, it’s just not something you consciously notice, at least for the average person. That said however, my excuse is that I’ve been living in the US since I was five, and although I watch more Chinese tv than anything else, 12 years of only speaking it at home around parents with relatively noticeable Fujian accents will definitely make a detrimental impact.
wow, 作为北京人都没有这么认真思考过北京话的发音方式。尤其是ch，sh，zh这些字儿其实是带一些卷舌的。
嗯嗯是的呢，很多特点其实母语者自己反而不太会注意到😊
Very useful especially because I’m from Fujian lol
Haha thanks! Would love to learn more about Fujianhua!
Tip from an overseas ethnic Chinese where people don't speak like this. If you're a beginner who wants to learn standard Mandarin then watch C-dramas, but if you want to get used to the Northern accents, watch variety shows and celebrity interviews where people are speaking naturally.
我在北京出生长大，但是父母是南方人，因为在东西城上学，所以小时候还有一点北京口音…上大学之后玩的好的都是南方人，逐渐丢失口音，现在别人都说我听着不亲切，普通话太标准…在这里复习一下哈哈！
Amazing video, super interesting. Apparently in Beijing they don't have an accent, they speak a totally different language, hahaha
Hahah there are definitely more different dialects in China, but Beijing accent is not so same as Putonghua as some people think for sure😁
After watching this, I feel like I'm so self-conscious now when speaking Chinese (老家天津的。。)
Is that a Plastered 8 t-shirt?
Recently, I've been thinking about learning Chinese from those from Harbin as I've heard that they have a Northeastern accent. But, do they use "儿话"? I love the sound of it.
They do! You can check out this video where I broke down the features of northeastern Mandarin accent - ruclips.net/video/VZZu5rjb7wA/видео.html

Yay thank you!!
@@RitaChinese You should've included stereotypes of Beijing speakers, if that is not "offensive".
@@Awesomeboyscout haha I mentioned "pirate sound." What else would you suggest? I'm curious to know!
I have heard of southern BJ speakers who speak less refined chinese compared to beijingers who live in central area. Not sure if that's existing but one thing's for sure, they retroflex a lot.
@@Awesomeboyscout hahah yeah they do! Southern Beijing is like the old town where locals who have lived in the capital for generations tend to say more retroflex sounds a lot more!!
很棒的总结! 北京人表示的确是这样, 只不过从来没注意到过…

On the merging of similar syllables I was watching a Chinese drama show when one of the actors said 现场 but pronounced it xian ang and repeated it multiple times to make sure and even tried to use this video as a reference to figure it out if I heard it correctly. But the only place I might felt there was similarity is in the section where you said 14:02 similar syllables might merge together or those that come second that start without consonant but xian chang the chang has a consonant and the an in xian and the ang in chang sound some what similar. I might need an experts opinion on this. @RitaChinese
