Chinese Pronunciation - Tumblr Posts
anonymous:
I just discovered your mdzs pronunciation stuff and it’s super helpful!!! Especially to an english speaker, it’s so helpful to hear everything pronounced slowly! Would you ever consider doing more but on Chinese basics? Like tones, or differences between similar sounds? (But please don’t feel obligated! Just a suggestion bc I find your pronunciation super helpful :)
hhhhh the file was too big for tumblr :’) even after I exported it at medium instead of standard quality, so i made a soundcloud after all aha…. it’s downloadable, even!
anyways! chinese school with cyan? :D transcript with helpful links under the cut.
previous chinese pronunciation posts with pinyin if you want to go back review them armed with new knowledge to practice: mdzs names 1, mdzs names 2

hello cyan. you have the cutest voice! one thing i’d really like to hear is the MDZS character names. it’s my fave thing in your podfics, the contrast with english is so beautiful! if you could go through birth name / courtesy name / title at like, the normal speed & then more slowly it would greatly help me both as a fan & as a mandarin learner. totally okay if you don’t have the time/would rather not do this. you are great & i wish you an awesome day!

lksjdflkjs ;A; thank u so much?? honestly the amount of flubbed codeswitching that happens during podfic recording is uh, a lot so I’m glad you like them!!
anyways, have this uhhh, fairly long recording. D: you should be able to download it with xkit, so you’re not trapped on the tumblr audio player.
it’s entirely possible I might have made a mistake somewhere in this post? I was mostly going off memory!! if anyone notices one, drop it in the notes, thank you! mentioned it in the actual audio, but I’m also willing to do a second one with like, swords and weapons and minor characters, if anyone’s interested in that haha.
