Hello, do you have a printable worksheet for numbers that I can print off? Do you offer written practice worksheets for this basic beginners course? I have a membership already. Thank you
Please find it in Beginner Lesson 4.2
i am chinese by race learning mandarin now. thanks for great learning material
Same
Hello, i cant actually find 0 (zero)
Zero is “Ling” 零 But your comment was from 2020, so you probably already know by now
谢谢
你好, Lily! How to say “zero” in Chinese? Like in the phone number, for example.
零ling （zero)
零(ling2) means zero
but usually you will find this 〇 (ling2)
also means zero but it’s informal
Really enjoying the lessons so far, very helpful
In 1 and 5, are you actually pronouncing the initial “y” and “w” at all? I can’t hear even a hint of them. I checked some other youtube videos for comparison and 1 always sounds like “ii” and 5 like “uu”. Would it sound strange if I pronounced them as “yii” and “wuu” with an audible Y and W?
Please refer to our Pinyin lesson on Zero Initials “y” and “w”
