It’s not. Beijing is pretty accurate as most English speakers say it (except for the tones), although I often hear people do really weird things with the j. The b and j sounds in Mandarin are not the same as in English, but they are closer than p or k to my ear. |

Basically, say it in the most naïve way (for an American English speaker). Trying to pronounce the 'j' like it's a French word is wrong.
