说了一辈子的普通话，连最常用的几个字都说不对。 ［老师 shi ］让你喊成 ［老司 si］; ［吃 chi 饭］，成了 ［疵 ci 饭］。别人不说你，因为人家不愿意天天跟你喊：［吃］不是［疵］！ 很多南方人在北方生活了几十年，还是［老司 (师)：疵(吃)饭了吗？］。这么简单的事你都干不了， 还号称能力强。要去闯世界？ 先花一点时间，把最常用的几个字说清楚了再走吧！ 南方人说普通话的最大障碍在于区分平舌（c s z）音和翘舌 (ch, sh, zh, r)音。其实很简单，翘舌就是把舌尖轻轻的往上往后弯一点。可咱南方人舌尖不灵，往往会咬牙切齿绷着脸去弯舌尖。 下载本应用，消一辈子的痛苦和羞愧！ 【普通话难听】？ 您说我听，我会马上告诉你对不对。我有无穷的耐心， 天天教你，直到你说准 为止。 【会写不会说】？ 好办，您手写，我说给您听。
