- 年假 (niánjià) - annual leave/vacation (for work)
Aussprachehilfe
- Pronouncing 'hán' with too much emphasis on the 'a' sound, making it sound like 'haan'. The 'a' sound is shorter and more direct.
- Not differentiating enough between the 'j' and 'q' sounds. 'Jià' is softer than 'qìa'.
- Failing to sustain the second tone (rising tone) on 'hán' and the fourth tone (falling tone) on 'jià'.
