So it also puzzle me why some mandarin speaking people still can't get it right. Maybe due to locality of different slang :) In mandarin, the pronunciation of J and Z are different, R and L are different, T and D are different.

The former does not require one to position our tongues, show off our teeth and make the buzzing 'zzzzzzz' sound. But then again, who am I to know all that lah. A few Mandarin classes on Saturdays when I was a kid is barely sufficient to teach me how to write my name in Chinese. Altho I did fly through those Mandarin classes in Uni years later. :) ront : Imho, i believe the chinese word ‘zi’ is different from ‘zee’.

That there is no "zeeeee" sound in the Chinese library of sounds. Not sure how true that is tho, being a banana myself :D I was told that the reason the Chinese-educated folks say “jeero” instead of “zero” is becos of the Chinese phonetics.
