Larry Herzberg Quotes
Two Common Chinese Words That Are Usually Pronounced Incorrectly Here In The U.S., By Nearly All Television And Radio Broadcasters, Are The Words "Beijing" And "yuan." The "j" In The Name Of China's Capital City Is Not Pronounced With The Soft "j" Sound Like Je Suis In French. The Chinese Language Lacks That Sound Entirely. The "j" In "Beijing" Is Pronounced Like The "j" In "jingle." The Yuan Is China's Currency, Just As The Dollar Is Ours. It Is Not Pronounced "you-anne" Or "you-awn." It Is Pronounced "you-when," Or "U.N." When Said Quickly As If It Were One Syllable.
