Hua Du speaks Mandarin. Is it difficult to learn Mandarin well?

It is sometimes really difficult for friends in the south to learn Mandarin well. This is not only related to the teaching in the school, but also to the environment in which we live, and also to the dialect we speak.

I still remember that Lyric said in the last job-hunting program that the biggest obstacle in her career was her Mandarin. She is much better now. She made a lot of jokes when she first went to college. When introducing herself for the first time, she said: Hello, my name is Lan (second voice).

Hearing this, the teacher repeatedly asked, what's your name? She said, my name is Lan (second voice). The teacher couldn't stand it anymore, and said, you are lyrical! She joked: I have lived 18 years, and I know my name is Lyric for the first time.

It's just a joke, but why? Because in the past 18 years of her life, everything you read and said was wrong. Neither of us felt the existence of this mistake, so naturally no one reminded us.

Or maybe some people heard the mistake, but didn't correct it because they didn't think it was necessary. Anyway, this is the whole environment. Different regions will have different challenges in Putonghua. For example, Fujian people can't tell f/h, and Hunan people can't tell n/l.

No one meant to be unclear, but after a long time, they didn't even know they were wrong. If you want to learn Mandarin well, it is not without opportunities. The key is persistence. Understand your pronunciation problems first, and then try to solve them.

Usually you can read aloud and record with your mobile phone, and listen to the recording in your spare time. When listening to the recording, you can better hear your own problems, and then correct and train them over and over again.

You can also listen to the announcers and learn their pronunciation. There is no shortcut to correct Putonghua, only repeated training. Language environment is also very important. If there are many conditions to communicate with partners with standard pronunciation, it will also help to correct Putonghua.
