In this video, you’ll hear 20 common Chinese sentences
in three different Mandarin accents
which are the northern Chinese, southern Chinese
and Taiwanese accents.
In Chinese language classes,
teachers usually articulate more clearly and slowly
so you can better understand them.
However, in everyday life, people tend to speak more quickly
and with a variety of accents.
This video will help you level up your listening skills
by listening to different accents.
You can also practice the useful sentences in this video
in the accent you prefer!
In order to present the authentic Chinese accents to you,
I’ve invited different Mandarin speakers to this video,
which are Melody from the northeast of China.
She speaks with a northern Chinese accent,
and Shuo is from southern China (Hunan).
They both have amazing channels
where they teach Mandarin in a cool and fun way.
