I am a Chinese teacher and it is the most helpful video I've found in RUclips to explain how to pronounce jqx! One of my student has difficulties on pronouncing them. We tried for more than two weeks but failed. However, she pronounced these initials perfectly the moment she watched this video! Look forward the videos about zcs and zh, ch,sh!!!!
Thanks Charlotte! We have everything explained very clearly on our video course "Pronunciation Mastery" which is available with any subscription of our course. Plus, I think that you will find the video you want by searching our youtube channel :D
OMG, I don't know why a lot of language teachers don't teach oral posture from the start. Half of the problems that comes with pronunciation stem from people not understanding how to place tongue and lips. English is my second language, and hopefully Mandarin will be my third. This was so incredibly useful, so I'm subscribing right away. Thanks!
The bit about the middle of your tongue folding up against the roof of your mouth was *exactly* I was hoping to hear. Wife/in-laws are Chinese and when I specifically asked them if the middle of their tongue folded up (like saying “he”) they said, “... I don’t know. I just say the sound.” Lots of other videos emphasize the front of the tongue on the bottom teeth, but nobody else seems to mention the middle/back of the tongue. Thanks for the post, and props for the short video that gets straight to the point.
How do you pronounce these quickly so it sounds fluent? I feel like I am releasing too much air when I try saying "zi ji" (自己 - yourself) or "yi qi qu" (一起去 - go together) quickly.
Difference is to a large part the aspiration. I did x wrong for years, but it's easy to re-learn. So to you no sha sha, or shey shey or schā schä but 谢谢

@@MandarinBlueprint Thank you! I appreciate every video you have made!

Explaining tongue position is the key. You can't reproduce a sound if you don't know how.

There are shortcuts that you will pick up through lots of listening exposure and speaking practice.
I guess non-native English speakers had the same issue when it comes to "th" sounds. It takes too much effort to pronounce them at first
As native speakers, we pronounce those as "zi i" and “yi i qu” when speaking really fast.
@@hippopotomostrosesquippeda5804YES! lol, been speaking english for many years and those th sounds at the begining of a word are a pain.

Is Xi same as English "see" ?
Yes, just the tongue position is different.
See is done with the teeth. xi like 洗 is done with the tounge on bottom teeth and air out from the top like an arc. Like he explained
No it’s not

Is Chinese j the same with English? Like, joke? For me they have no difference at all😭😭😭😭😭
Only difference is the tongue position!
Why using latin "Q" if u pronounce it like a "Ch"? I mean why don't use different kind of "C" instead of "Q"
That's because both C. CH and Q are matched to distinctly different pronunciations in Chinese, thus the need to differentiate them.
This is why you westerners can never pronounce Qing Dynasty correctly.
Furthermore, the Q was pronounced as /k/ in the past. With time, /ki/ became /tɕʰ/
