Hi, Min Min. I live in New Zealand. I am a Chinese. I just know your website a few days ago. I feel that your site is very good. I want my children to use it for learning Chinese. And I will recommend it to their classmates and friend who want to learn Chinese. Some of the audio sound is not smooth. If you can make it smoother, that would be much better.
I think the tone for the end of the 4th word –”gui” should be the 3rd tones, and the sound for the 7th word is not correct. Plese check it.
Hi Brian,
Do you mean 酒鬼 (jiǔ guǐ) ?
It is pronounced correctly with the 3rd tone.
And for the 7th word, 酗酒 (xù jiǔ), it is pronounced fast. So you may feel the sound is incorrect. However, I have made my software to read the word character by character so that you can hear it more clearly.
I am using a Chinese TTS (Text-To-Speech) software to read all the Chinese words in this website. I can’t guarantee 100% of pronunciations in this website are as a native Chinese speaker. However, I will make sure at least 95% of the Chinese sounds here are correct.
Yes some of the pronunciations are too fast that
I can hardly catch the pinjin of some words.
Can you give a word for word pronunciation
instead of reading a sentence too fast in one
gulp?
酗 酒 means indulge in excessive drinking. It is more than 酒 醉.
If all the sentences are read character by character, it would not be the same as what we speak in our daily speaking. Just like English, if you read the following sentence word for word :
I, want, to, go, to, school.
you will not have intonation and stress.
However, I will try to slow down the sound.
The female voice is not my voice. I am using a Chinese TTS (Text-To-Speech) software to read all the Chinese words in this website.
Yes, you’re right and I don’t mean to say “read the text
character by character”. What I mean, like you said, is
to slow down a little bit to a comfortable level. Even I
speak in real life much slower than that female voice.
how old are you min min?
Hi dasod yash,
年龄是女人的秘密。
I thought age is a secret of a woman. Hehe… 🙂

Hi
Does 酗酒 also mean 醉 了 or 酒 醉？
Yes some of the pronunciations are too fast that
I can hardly catch the pinjin of some words.

Min Min, are you the one in the female voice?

Thanks, Min Min. You’re really great!
I now see the 分 别 between 酗酒 and 酒 醉
