The "z" in "zai" is not pronounced like the “dge" in "judge. It is more like the z in "zebra" but there are a few differences, the "z" in "zai" is pronounced more strongly, and the upper and lower teeth bite together tighter.

 If you have difficulty in learning Chinese pronunciation, just contact Jennifer Zhu, she will help you deal with all of your Chinese questions!
