Let's explore some of the common issues that Chinese speakers face when pronouncing English words.

让我们来探讨一下一些中国人在读单词的时候经常面临的问题kWaGHaiVHRh。

Even if you do not speak Chinese you can still learn some important ideas.

即使你不会说中文，你仍然可以学到一些重要的思想1#sg.@DQEqZR3W。

Chinese refers to a large group of dialects.

汉语包括一大批方言T5B*od;%V94wPUO4Vyw]。

Most kinds of Chinese speakers face a common issue when pronouncing English words: having difficulty with /n/ sound at the end of words.

大多数中国人在发英语单词时都面临着一个共同的问题：单词末尾的/n/发音有困难fv5UV#rYGqxL@l。

/n/ is among the group of sounds called nasals.

/n/是鼻音组里面的一个音|iURrY4|yR1a7w2EMwI。

These sounds are made by creating a blockage in the mouth and letting air escape from the nose.

发鼻音时，通过在嘴里制造一个堵塞，让空气从鼻子里跑出9sN&)-kAWFqS。

Word-final nasal sounds tend to be shorter in Chinese than they are in English.

汉语词尾的鼻音往往比英语短2p6Zt2e22o8ypL1Wam。

The result is that Chinese speakers do not say the nasal sound long enough.

结果就是，中国人发鼻音的时间不够长C[Rs%]@Hx0gbaFg[)h。

One solution is to practice linking the final /n/ sound of a word with the vowel sound of the next word.

一种解决办法是练习将一个单词的最后的/n/音与下一个单词的元音连读]js,RSKSuV。
