Commonly Mispronounced Sounds by Chinese Native Speakers - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Throughout the world, different countries have difficulty pronouncing other sounds from different languages. For many native English speakers learning Mandarin, pronouncing the "x", "sh", "q", "ch", and "z" sounds are not easy obstacles to overcome. Based on my own experience it takes plenty of repetition to master how to pronounce each of these sounds. Chinese students have a similar problem when trying to pronounce certain sounds in English. The three sounds that come to mind are "th", "v" and the difference between "r" and "l".
Difficult Sounds
Replacing the /v/ sound with the /w/ sound
Replacing the /l/ sound with the /r/ sound
