We use two Soundsters to remember how to say DOCTOR in Mandarin.

eaGLE for the sound “ee”.

You get the “ee” sound by pronouncing only the ea part of the word eaGLE, and keeping the capitalized GLE part silent.

sunFLOWER for the sound “sarn”.

You get the “sarn” sound by vocalizing only the sun part of the word sunFLOWER, and keeping the capitalized FLOWER part silent.

When we put these together, we get “ee sarn”, which means doctor in Mandarin.

I hope you do not need to use this word when you are travelling, but just in case you need it, now you know how to say DOCTOR in Chinese Mandarin.

Remember the “ee sarn” sounds by having the image of the eaGLE in sunFLOWER hat and DOCTOR’s robe.

Go and start using the phrases you have learned to accelerate your learning.

Enjoy.
