Could you please anybody explain how /z/ sound is pronounced in mandarin?
I think it's quite a bit a challenge for me, and also I found it's different from /z/ sound in English. It would be very nice if you put some examples on this. If you need, you can answer me in English or in Mandarin. :)

Answer

"ㅈ" 발음이랑 좀 비슷한거같애요.

Answer

z有两种：平舌的z，发音类似英语里浊辅音（voiced sound, g,d）结尾名词加复数s后 /z/的读音。
         比如： dog   -->   dogs
               卷舌的zh，嘴形和z的嘴形保持一致，舌头上卷抵上腭。发音类似英语里的dr组和（dream中的dr）。

最好听听实际发音，自己感受一下。
