      "阴茎“ 听起来更像医学, 不是吗?在美国,你的医生不会对你说 "cock" 或者 “dick",他会说 “penis". 中国呢?

        我的美国医生总是会对我说《我要看见你的cock》。现在就我觉得我的医生也许不是真的医生。

    Good list. I'd point out that some have varying pronunciation depending on which regional Chinese you're speaking, for e.g.

    头发 - tóufà is tóufa in Beijing, and 耳朵 is ěrduo. Both pronounce the second character as toneless.

    Others here are marked as toneless when to me they have tones? e.g. xiōngbu I would pronounce as xiōngbù.

    It's a quirk you'll need to be aware of that people may transcribe pinyin differently, and some automatic pinyin tone transcribers don't get it right either.

        Cheers! Btw do you use Pleco dictionary? It shows some of these pronunciation differences, especially between Mainland and Taiwanese. It's really helped me a lot.
