Yep I read them as well. Always good to know what's out there if I ever get around to finding the
time to study.

this book 普通话测试辅导与训练, isbn 7-301-11079-0 北京大学出版社.

Picked this up on your recommendation as I need a bunch of pronunciation exercises. Seems very
good, lots of . . . well, pronunciation exercises. Pinyin for most, but not all. Came with 4 cds,
almost three hours worth. Not bad for 30Y. I'd probably recommend BLCU's 汉语语音教程 over
this as that's geared up to foreign learners rather than people from '方言区' like this, but it
does have better quality audio and the info on the problems people with different dialects have is
kind of interesting.

Yeah! Roddy jumped on the 'torture myself with pronunciation practices' train. The only bad thing
about that book is the cd's don't cover the langdu, so you can download them from this link










roddy -

They don't? That might be a problem if I ever open the book. Thanks for the tip.

Ok, I finally found this link where I recommended another book. Anyway, this is another
pronunciation book that comes with tapes, (not part of the 12.50 yuan though) and is used at some
schools to help 纠正发音

Does the book you refer to address foreign students from many backgrounds and have langdu
passages? I found that some books, for example the HSK 前强化-口式（高等）tends to
address Japanese and Korean pronunciation problems, but that was it. Overall, I have never seen
any advice I have received from teachers in pronunciation textbooks. However, I have had some
great teachers with very good experience that could point out the 'western' students pronunciation
problems right away. (Aside from tones it was usually an issue of speaking too much from our
throats and not letting the sounds really come out form the front of our mouths... etc.). Many of
my teachers definitely recommend reading outloud.

Oh, yeah FYI during the putonghua exam, my friend was able to randomly draw two langdu readings,
and then from the two, pick which one she wanted to do. (She avoided number 7 or something,
whichever one it was with alot of numbers).

Secondly, her exam didn't include that one 'optional' section for fangyan speakers.

Sorry to jump in here, but why is it called "langdu"?










roddy -

I think it mentions western students, Japanese, Korean, and Thai. It doesn't go into a great deal
of detail though, it's more just a case of 'students from country X may have trouble with sound A.
So be careful.'
