二，饿， and 日。那是怎么说？ Can someone clarify for me how they are supposed to be pronounced?
Oops, not the response I was looking for. Let me rephrase the question. The er, e, and ri sound in chinese all sound the same to me, probably because i'm pronouncing it wrong. Can someone give me an example of how each of these words is suppose to sound like using an English word as an example, i.e., er= the "re" sound as in the word "tire"
