Well, there's a difference between the dialect of Beijing, which is a true dialect and not in the sense that Shanghai hua is a "dialect" (it's not, it's a different language). So, someone speaking Putonghua with a Beijing accent, a Jilin accent, or a Harbin accent would be like the difference between British and Canadian English. But someone speaking with a Shanghaiese or Taiwanese accent is like a person speaking French accented English. It's a perfect analogy, because it's the exact same situation! The only difference is political, of course, but I don't care about politics, so~~

It's okay, I don't think Chinesepod is paying attention to me anyway (If I recall from a few years ago, some other people voiced similar sentiments but were just sort of ignored, so I'm assuming they won't address the issue, *shrug*)

I like this kind of Chinese, it's the reason I fell in the love with the language way back when.

Well, government policy says Beijing's pronunciation is the basis for Putonghua. This amusing video explains it quite well (I love this particular skit haha) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC8CxfJHTLk

I've actually spent time up in Jilin, Changchun...and my god, I love the Chinese there. It's the perfect balance between Beijinghua's sound and the official Mandarin, it's also really close to the official target for newscasters and whatnot. It's quite a bit different from the way Shanghai folks talk, they're pretty close to Taiwan in some ways, truth be told. Anyway, my hope is for the injection of some voices representing the roots and origin of putonghua as we know and love it!

皮薩也可以用~不過說實話,大部分有點教育的臺灣人會直接說pizza, 我想新加坡,香港也是這樣。
