[@paulcowderoy6403]

Thank you, this video is very instructive and interesting. I have liked and subcribed and will watch more of your videos, or probably listen to them while I am driving, as other time is scarce. Thanks

I'm glad you are using your spare time to learn Chinese. Thank you for your support, Paul!

This was really helpful! I live in Huzhou and often cannot even understand the prices I have to pay😅, although I do know they don't pronounce sh. Mostly people don't switch over to Putonghua. I guess, I willI get used to their dialect, but it is very frustrating for beginners. This overview gave me a better idea of the differences between North and South. I subscribed and wish your channel the success it deserves😊

I'm so glad the video was helpful for you!😄 And honestly, even among Chinese speakers, it can be tough to understand each other's dialects sometimes 😅.

Had a friend from zhejiang, he said how Singaporean mandarin is very "lazy" in sound, and when he went back during the summer, his grandma scold him for speaking "lazily" after just 1 year in SG Makes sense since there's a lot of teochew, hokkien, and cantonese influence. I also notice cantonese rely more on lah, loh, wo, gaa to add 情态 to the sentence ---- Also funny thing, we refer to 普通话 as 华语 (and 中文 is 华文)

Would Nanjing, Shanghai and Hangzhou use the southern dialect?

[@LalaChinese]

Shanghai and Hangzhou indeed use southern dialects. Nanjing, broadly speaking, is considered a northern dialect. However, I’ve heard that in Nanjing, people sometimes pronounce “zh, ch, sh” as “z, c, s”.

[@LalaChinese]

Nanjing (including my hometown Hefei) nears the boundary between northern and southern China, so the dialect has influences from both northern and southern Chinese dialects.
