First notebook entry: Introducing myself I dont know how to introduce myself yet in Mandarin. I would like to know how. I'm learning Mandarin because I think it is a really important language to know. I need to know how to pronounce, Zhen De? Any help?

一:The main differences between the zh sound in Chinese and the dʒ sound in English is: 1. when you pronounce zh, you tongue need a little "rising" like the way you pronounce the "r" sound in English. 2. when you pronounce zh, you don't really need to vibrate your vocal cord. Take it as a voiceless consonant with very little aspirating. 二:For the "的” sound, take it as a voiceless consonant with very little aspirating too! Good luck!
