English has three sounds: j/zh, x/ch, and x/sh. So to English ears, xiao (小) and shao (少) sound the same. English speakers do not hear "a sound that isn't in English". They hear the same English sound in both words. That is why we cannot distinguish them. EDIT: but that does not prevent learning Chinese. In English, it is very common for written letters (like pinyin) to represent different sounds. 没问题
This is the best explanation I’ve seen. Thank you so much!
