Yes, it's a sad fact that many foreign born Mainlanders learn Mandarin, even if their parents speak Cantonese. What's the loudest Chinese accent you know of? I vouch for Beijingers... ^_^ 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Given the difficulty of Mandarin, the accent that I end up with is relatively unimportant... eg I really don't have a favorite accent. I try to understand all the accents that I encounter and would like to be able to comprehend any form of spoken Mandarin.

Okay I see ^_^ with what regional accent are you learning to speak in?
Edit: I know you don't have a favourite, but there must be one that your methods correspond to? Oh and that leads me to another question. What accent does everybody think are the most widely available when choosing Mandarin learning resources?

My Mandarin has a bit of a Taiwanese accent. I also tend to use Taiwanese terms. It's a reflection of my movie collection which is predominantly animated American movies dubbed for the Taiwanese market.

My Mandarin teacher is Taiwanese yet she makes us pronounce the "er-ar" (although she does say we can pronounce it en-an) so I don't know what the hell of an accent we're learning.

My first Chinese teacher was from Jilin Province, and she always pronounced "x" like "s".
