July 01, 2010, 05:14 AMI have recently been in shanghai and bought a shanghainese book which is very helpful. It is called:
"Shanghai Dialect for Foreigners"
It has a CD which helps in the same way the podcasts do to walk you through the language by actual pronunication and commonly used phrases.
I also bought a whole bunch of other items for learning shanghainese (some for native mandarin speakers). I will give a review of these later.

I've always wanted chinesepod to add lessons for other dialects such as 閩南話， 廣東話，還有上海話。
太棒了! 加油！！

February 15, 2009, 01:42 AMThis ia a great lesson
I have been saying for years there is a drastic difference between the ZH sound found on words like 中國 and 這張照片
I learned standard Mandarin in school as most of us did. However, southerners and especially Taiwanese tend to turn this sound into a soft z sound removing the "J" sound altoghether
Zhongwen becomes "zongwen"
This is also a problem with the numbers 4 and 10 just like the lesson preview said.
In taiwan, the only way I can tell the difference between four and ten is by the tone they use. They are definitely not distinguishing between S and SH sounds.
Interesting Lesson guys.
Maybe we can have one on regional dialects sometime such as on 上海話， 關東華，還是台語
謝謝你們！！
