It sounds like the "J" sound at first, but the "J" sound is made by keeping your tongue loose in the front of your mouth while the "Zh" sound is made by curling your tongue so that the tip touches the middle of the roof of your mouth.

After you curl your tongue, keep your teeth together and try saying "J" again and it will give you the "Zh" sound.

What is the phonetic translation in Chinese of pearl?

Pearl (珍珠) is pronounced zhen zhu. Phonetically "zh" sounds similar to the English "j." In reality it is a retroflex and is pronounced much differently. To make the zh sound, the tongue is thrown forward from a curled back position. Rather similar to the "dj" sound found at the beginning of the words "jam", "jewels."So the word "zhen zhu" would be pronounced phonetically like "jun jew."Chinese is a tonal language, so how you say the words can change the meaning. Both characters that make up the word pearl are pronounced in the first tone, which is a high, even and constant tone.
