An Experimental Study On Vietnamese Learners’ Acquisition Of Mandarin Chinese Affricates

Mandarin affricates are one of the difficulties for foreign Chinese learners in their phonetic learning of Mandarin.Its diverse pronunciation and aspirated /unaspirated characteristics of the difference,for the mother tongue to clear the difference between opposition,less air delivery,no way to plug the sound of the Vietnamese students,is even more difficult.Therefore,our study takes three levels of Vietnamese Chinese learners as the research object,uses the method of phonetic experiment,analyzes the characteristics of Vietnamese Chinese learners in the habit of affricates,and puts forward teaching countermeasures for Vietnamese Chinese learners.Through the research in this paper,we find:First,because Vietnamese learners are not accustomed to the pronunciation of the aspirated consonant,whether it is primary Chinese learners or middle and senior Chinese learners,their breathing performance and native speakers have a certain gap.Second,Vietnamese learners have a lack of aspiration and the pronunciation habits of elongated rhymes,which causes their sound rhythm pattern unreasonable problem,forming a foreign tone.Third,the fluency of Vietnamese Chinese learners in the pronunciation of the affricates can be improved with the deepening of learning,but even to the middle and advanced level,the fluency level and the native speakers have a certain gap.Fourth,Vietnamese Chinese learners in the affricates learning bias is mainly divided into pronunciation method skew and pronunciation of the partial bias.Where the pronunciation method of bias refers to the difference between aspirated/unaspirated characteristics are not strong enough,pronunciation is the three groups of affricates there is confusion.
