How to pronounce “Beijing,” courtesy of Two Chinese Characters

By jozjozjoz | Wednesday, June 11, 2008 | 20 Comments

The Two Chinese Characters are John B. Weinstein & Carsey Yee and they rock!

If you don’t know how to pronounce “Beijing,” and really even if you do, you should check out this wonderful informational video they put out to educate and entertain.

My Mandarin is kind of rusty so I’m looking forward to more lessons from these two characters in the future… I wonder if they take requests for words/phrases to teach us???

Sometimes I hear people totally butchering things in Chinese and I'd like to beat some of them with a ruler.

Jun, I think they are supposed to be corny.

Tongue-in-cheek, right?
