I love this, the information is very helpful! The taiwanese mandarin sounds softer/prettier accent to me because of these differences 😊 although learning to say 4 and 10 was very confusing for a little while

[@ceciliachenchinese]

I am glad you like our accent 💖
Yes it is challenging, practice makes perfect, you can do it Katie 🙂💖😎

[@stupidmadfools3784]

just like our thai languang that thai paople often speak different sound comparing to its original sound, it might sounds incorrect character but we just did it for easy, convenient pronunciation to speak in casual daylife.
i love taiwan's mandarin and love traditional characters.

The Taiwanese accent sounds softer and also more down to earth, while Mainland accent sounds a bit too strict.
As a Chinese Malaysian, I find the Taiwanese accent easier to imitate, since I'm Hokkien, similar to Taiwanese. I tried the Mainland pronunciation, the more I tried the worse it got and I never felt comfortable with it, plus when I tried to do that accent locally it's too obvious, but the Taiwanese accent is much closer to our accent (but nicer) and I have a much better time speaking with it, many of our words are also more similar to the Taiwanese ones, perhaps due to Taiwanese music industry that I grew up with.
However, it's a bit frustrating that now the Mainland Mandarin is dominating many of the learning books and it hard to find authentic Taiwanese learning books, though good thing I know it's Taiwanese if it in traditional Chinese, I want to the authentic Taiwanese Mandarin!

Lovely to know 🥰 Thank you

Mainland China prinunciation sounds a little coarse to me...Maybe because I'm learning mandain with a Taiwanese teacher???

I am glad to find your RUclips, teacher. I speak chinese for 8 years.. I learn Chinese here in Taiwan. Most of my clients are chinese. When I said my first sentence in Chinese, they know that I studied in Taiwan 🤣🤣🤣 I also have a channel.. it will be very interesting if we can do a video together in chinese or english.. whatever LOL!

不客氣☺️

[@Ryanjelly22]

But if you bring this up, everyone denies that they do it. "I do say the shhhhhh!" Lol

[@ceciliachenchinese]

Exactly!! So you have to observe them hahaha! This happened to teachers especially! During the class most teacher go on “teacher mode” , pronounce 100% correct > after the class no Zhi Chi Shi Ri at all 😆😆😆

[@LuisReyes-cx2sy]

There's other one! ㄦ(er) becomes ㄜ(e) try to count 一二三 you'll discover it 😉

[@ceciliachenchinese]

ohhhh nice one!!!!!

[@jialerchang9256]

Im not taiwanese but I naturally pronounce "er" as "uh" cos its just easier. Doesn't matter if I'm speaking English or Chinese 😂

[@mulaikahabdmuttalib1694]

No wonder I heard a lot of 'si' when watching your country's drama. Example:
“Ni si bu si... = 你是不是...”
“Mei si = 沒事”

[@ceciliachenchinese]

yessss you got it! 😎😁

You are welcome 🙏

[@peterbayne7227]

Would people in Taiwan think badly of you if you use Standard Mandarin pronunciation instead of the local one, or would they not care much?

[@ceciliachenchinese]

I think it doesnt really matter since you are not from Taiwan 🙂

[@peterbayne7227]

@@ceciliachenchinese I'm actually living and working in Taiwan right now.

[@ceciliachenchinese]

🙂 Nice, I am saying not a Taiwanese so they will understand you speak in standard way (because they expect you maybe learn it in language center) Teacher there always emphasize on standars pronunciation.

[@peterbayne7227]

@@ceciliachenchinese Ok, so just stick to standard pronunciation then. Thanks.

[@prettyboy1970]

I've worked with two guys from Taiwan. Want to sound Taiwanese when speaking English? Just pretend you downed a gallon of whiskey, speak like your tongue is the size of a large cucumber, and absolutely refuse to use consonants. There ya have it.

[@ceciliachenchinese]

喔

[@3b91ce72]

If you ignore the politics, learn to speak the proper mandarin from CCTV china.

[@ceciliachenchinese]

Are you talking to me?

[@nicoservin2870]

You should learn the proper English from England
