Master the Mandarin.
Softer retroflex, slower pace, traditional characters.
Taiwan Mandarin is the Mandarin spoken in Taiwan (zh-TW). Compared with mainland Standard Mandarin, many speakers pronounce zh, ch and sh with less retroflexion, close to z, c and s, and use the neutral tone less often. AnyAccent scores each word and sentence against this accent.
About this accent
