My goodness! I got half way through this entire course and decided to start all over from the very beginning. Glad I did, it is so much easier now!
I am having problems with the “ü” sound. Is it like an “i” but with the lips in a “u” shape?
same here
Thank you for these lessons – really appreciate all the work that goes into them. My question is – when you ask us to read after you in Mandarin – are you saying 倾个我读 （qing1 ge wo3 du2) or something else? thanks!
It is “请跟我读 qǐng gēn wǒ dú”, please with me read, please read after me.
多谢
very satisfied
Hello everyone i am self learning how to speak Chinese
大家好，我正在自学说中文
As a native German with good English knowledge, these came easy, especially the ü.
However, the ‘e’ has a very peculiar sound that I am wracking my brain to find an equivalent in either language for. Does anyone have a helpful tip? I simply cannot get the pronounciation right.
the ‘e’ sounds to me like when I say ‘uh’ while trying to think of something. I am not sure if that helps you or not.
Does the last sound U/V sound like “ewe” or “you”? I can’t seem to be able to pronounce it.
More like the eww of disgust.
I Agree i am confused theres so many ways to spell i agree

Wow! The detail and careful attention to learners’ needs is phenomenal in this video.
I am having a hard time with the last one v .. any other tips?
It’s a lot like the German ü, which is used in the word Über or the car service Uber. Hope this helps.
That was super helpful for me. Thanks.
