So Duolingo has been teaching me the Northern accent with all the ers at the end.

[jielly.melanie]

north is basically a British accent but Chinese

I teach English to Chinese students, and I witnessed this phenomenon when a student was writing a sentence in English. He forgot the period at the end. I told the student, "You missed something." Immediately four of his classmates yelled "Dian, dian, dian!" Another ousted herself with her response, "Dianr, dianr, dianr!" The other classmates and I were amused. It is a cute accent.

Wow! the chinese northern accent sounds "angry" like the spanish north mexican accent 😂😂😂

the girl from Beijing is speaking Beijing dialect but the girl from Fujian is just speaking standard putonghua, without any "southern accent". There are naturally many different "southern accents" not one. Someone whose mother tongue is Shanghainese would have a different accent than someone whose first language is Cantonese. If one really wants to get an idea of the Mandarin accent of those who speak Min languages (the Sinitic languages spoken in Fujian), they can just listen to Taiwanese mandarin. It's similar.

I met a woman from China a few years ago. I speak some Mandarin, so I thought maybe I could chat with her a little. I asked her where she was from. She said, "I'm from Hujian province." I was so confused. Hujian? There's no province called Hujian! Finally I figured it out. She was from Fujian - but in southern China and Taiwan, a lot of people have a very soft accent, so the "F" sounds like an "H". There are so many dialects and accents in China that learning "standard" Mandarin in a class or from books and language software (like I did) gets you only maybe 20% of the way to actually understanding real, everyday Chinese the way it's actually spoken.

Beijing has even more of an sound than most of the Northern regions though

[mrmingsun]

Please note, this is slight differences within standard Mandarin. It is not northern or southern chinese languages or dialects.

[holliegamers]

Hushou..i only heard that word in cdrama 😂😂

[appa]

The "southern" accent here is basically formal Mandarin while the Beijing girl is showing some regionalism. Fujian people didn't speak Mandarin until about 50 years ago.

[exercisethoughtsanddiscussions]

Occasionally, I can hear the difference when I hear nearby college students speaking with each other. "er" sound, I suspect they are northern.

[rogerxu]

This isnt reallt accurate as the girl sspeaking southern accent is just speaking standard mandarin, whereas the girl with the nothern accent is speaking a northern dialect in an informal matter, while it is interesting to see the difference between the two it might be misleading to compare them like this😅

[oisinmaccumhaill]

This was like a really low budget rewind episode. I loved it.

[TheLightOI]

Being Chinese myself but living in Canada, the Northern Chinese accent is like French from Quebec compared to the one of Metropolitan France.

[TheEarthRealm]

I prefer the sound of the southern accent, but I might be biased, as I'm learning Taiwanese Mandarin at the moment. 💁🏿‍♂️

As a person who spent around 20 years in China, I do confirm it.

[channaichew]

In Malaysia Singapore Taiwan, plenty of Hokkien (Minan) spoken on d streets..we love n must preserve our dialects!!
Also Cantonese, in HongKong KL, dont let them die out!

[michaelmunno]

both of you have awesome clear English! thank you for this video, very cool. I can always hear a Bejing accent, so different than all the rest of those I have heard. Fuzhonese have their own accent which is quite different from Taipei mandarin, love to hear an example of those side by side also.

I grew up only speaking Cantonese, Toisanese, and English, but the fourth language I learned was Spanish in HS.

This is where I learned how to roll my R’s. When I learned Mandarin in my adulthood, the tongue rolling came easy. 😂

[MaxBoomingHere]

I've been learning textbook Chinese and have seen a mix of both whoch is interesting (出门 but also 好玩儿)
