Part 18: Spam: Self-Driving Car Stuck In a Loop?
Self-Driving Car Stuck In a Loop? You May Be Entitled to a Settlement
Before I moved to China, I was never really in a position to afford a self-driving car. I guess it's a bit of a blessing in disguise, with this sort of thing going on.
I'd joke that bicycles are the way of the future, but the air quality readout on my tablet menu is telling me that that's a really bad idea, at least in Shenzhen.

The best advice I heard for an English speaker emulating a Chinese "zh" was to use the sound that is in the middle of "pleasure" or "leisure". Though I expect that depends on what your particular dialect of English is.

I'll be honest, I've been speaking Mandarin for ages and I've always pronounced it like somewhere between 'ts' and 'jj' in Korean. Might just be a Southeast Asia variant.
I've mostly been pronouncing it... OK, so you know how there's a 'juh' sound if you say 'Japan'? Or there can be. I've been pronouncing the 'zh' like that, maybe a little more blended with the 'en' at the end. So it's more of a... "Shen-j'h-eh-n".
I'm not exactly a linguist or anything, but so far so good.
