Pronunciation of 人? I know what it means, and I know when to use it, but I mostly pronounce it as rén, but I was at a Chinese restaurant (they were speaking Mandarin) and they kept switching of from rén to a sound like zhén so I'm jus wondering if both sounds can be used or if they blend in togethor?Ok, I get it that it is rén I know that, but I have heard other native speakers speak with with a more zh starting sound to it, which confuses me at times

The "r" sound in Chinese is a cross between an English "r" and a "y". You're hearing the "y" sound, especially from the South Chinese. It is similar to Chinese "zh", but listen clearly and you will hear the difference.
