All the foreigner characters spoke the same stereotyped accent in the Chinese dramas I grew up
watching. I imagine there should be different accents out there just as there are a variety of
accents in speaking English. I wonder if there are any non-native accent samples available on the
web. Or any volunteer willing to contribute one? Thank you.

Maybe you can watch this TV play called : 武林外传 my own swordsman.
You will hear many different dialects . and the tv play is very intersting.

I think you misunderstand the OP. 武林外传 has many accents of native Chinese people. The OP
is looking for different accents of non-native speakers, when they speak Chinese.

Different accents definitely exist, but I don't know if there are any samples on the web. I used
to be able to pick out Korean, Japanese, Thai, French, German and well as English accents (thanks
to being in classes with people from those nationalities).

If anything, there are no shortage of foreigners speaking Chinese on TV. Even if you don't watch
the dramas, there are always some type of xiangsheng, or cultural programs, travel programs, or
chinese teaching programs that have some foreigner thrown in there somewhere...

Imron, what is that radio program with a french and irish guy...laowai kan zhongguo...something or
rather...Yiwan can just tune into that. Sometimes they even have other 'waiguo pengyou' on the
show as well....

It was 老外看点. You can listen to it online at this page. They only have an RM stream. Here's
a direct link to the most recent one.

actually i like 康熙来了，thats a Taiwan talk show, invite different stars to this program
and i think it's funny and also could help u learn some Chines joke










ZhouNuosi -

Corpose, how can you like those?

my gf watches 康熙来了 all the time (she's from Bj) and whenever I sit next to her and watch
it too, I get this almost irresistable urge to smack something. those noises just drive me crazy

*pling* *ploing* *dong dong dong dong!!!!!* *piiiiiiiiiiiiiw* *tadadadadadaaaaaa*

but the urge disappears when I ty to imagine the guy responsible for those sounds, just pushing
some buttons backstage with a serious face, sipping his coffee while creating some party
atmosphere in the studio. something the creators of Family Guy would probably be able to make a
good parody on.










corpose -

lol,yeah, i admit that their r some weird sounds in that show,but sometimes its fun, such as when
they talk abt some ghost stories, hahaha,anyway, maybe u could ask ur gf to explain the joks in
that show, then u might find it is not 2 bad

Although I first learned Chinese in Xi'an, I spent most of my early days in Hunan and picked up
the local accent. Even today, a decade later, although I now live in Guangxi, my wife's family
call me Chairman Mao because they swear I speak Putonghua just l like he did. With a strong Hunan
accent.

No, you can't have a tape.
