LESSON NOTES
Groups of 21 Chinese Pinyin Initials
Thereare the two different ways to put all 21 Pinyin Initials into groups.
- According to the techniques involved to pronounce the Initials
- According to what parts of your mouth you involve to pronounce the Initials.
I like how you have the sounds of each sound the bottom of each lesson, but I think it would be good to have all the sounds on one page so we can compare them without having to go to each lesson for that specific sound. I am having a hard time distinguishing between t and c, and zh and r.
Wow I feel a big difference in my ability to use the sounds in lesson 8 compared to the previous ones. It’s still a very concentrated effort on my part. But I hope with more practice I can speak without worrying so much about my pronunciation.
I think x vs sh is the hardest for me to distinguish between the two, both in hearing them and speaking them.
Between j q x and zh ch sh, I cannot hear the difference at all ! I also have to be careful not to mistake one for another when I’m saying those
你好。 I think I’ve found a mistake. In the lesson 8, Quiz 2, the fifth syllable sounds like ‘de’ instead of ‘ge’. I checked several times, I’m pretty sure it’s ‘de’. Could you check it and tell me if I’m right or wrong? Thank you for your lessons. They are amazing. 🙂
Would be great to get a PDf to print out of the group diagram.
I figured out if I click to continue after the second quiz it marks the lesson complete.
Do you have a chart of all of the initials and finals, organized like you have in the course, that I can print out?
It’s a great idea to have a Pinyin Chart like that! Thank you for the suggestion. Right now we do not have one but we will put it on our to do list.
I also waiting that you have your own Pinyin Chart on this website.
Would suggest making a screen shot of the one in the video. You could print out the picture I would guess.
I did just that

Some European languages, like my mother language, do have quite a few of these sounds and written notation very similar, which make it easier. One question, does the sound of “e” like in “red/bed” not exist in Chinese?
Appreciate your level of professionalism, I suggest more “homework” type – even “optional” will be great in general. Very good course, looking forward for additional/advanced ones.
