TGCF/Heaven Official's Blessing Pronunciation Guide (easy/accessible version!)

Описание: Hey everyone! If you speak English but not Chinese and you want to do a better job when you pronounce Chinese words/names in TGCF, especially if you’ve been struggling with it, I hope this helps!

I won’t repeat the disclaimers/approach here so check out that section in the intro! One thing to add, though - just like there are lots of Englishes, there are lots of Chineses, truly so many different dialects and accents. This video draws from the Chinese I was taught, just like it draws from the English I was taught. My specific Chinese is Mandarin, with whatever accent mess I probably have from having a couple different teachers from different places.

I made the name/word lists myself, so if I left anything out, my bad! I think this is pretty comprehensive but I also know that because I’m used to Mandarin, I can take things for granted and miss them (I almost skipped Guzi because of this!).

Ty the Canasian’s TGCF pronunciation guide is great if you want to learn Chinese or already know some, and includes truly fantastic notes on mouth shape and tongue placement in the CCs so make sure you have those on!    • Видео

…and she also has a HILARIOUS video that shows where the written pronunciation guide…doesn’t quite get it, even if their heart was in the right place:    • They Call Me Lahn Wong-gee :  Fun with the...
