listen up! the letter j in beijing is NOT pronounced like the s in leisure. in fact, that sound doesn't even EXIST in mandarin. watching the olympics i was getting really annoyed when the commentators and reporters would say bei-zhing. argggghhhhh!!!! repeat after me: bay-jing, as in jingle bells. you don't say zhingle bells. if i hear any of you say bei-zhing, i will be mentally ripping your head off.
