| Welcome to my Chinese Pinyin page!! |
|
| Why I'm making this site: Many people have not been able to get a good grade on the recently taken Pinyin test, and many people scored even in the 60s-70s range and lower. This site is also here to help people study for future Pinyin tests and master their Pinyin, one of the most basic skills when leanring Chinese and one of the first things taught. Note: I can't put Chinese on this website, so I'll just put the Chinese words in Pinyin. |

| First of all, there are four "accent marks", if you want to call them that, and they always go over the "vowel" that comes first not in the word, but in the alphabet. |
| Vowels that accent marks go over (first set): a o e i u � |
| Second set of vowels: ai ei ui ao ou iu |
| Third set of vowels: ie �e er |
| Fourth set of vowels: an en in un �n |
| Fifth set of vowels: ang eng ing ong |
| Memorizing Pinyin is not a death-defying feat. When you see it written somewhere, it's usually divided into sections, so that's what I did to make it easier to memorize. |
| There are 24 yun mu (Chinese equivalent for vowel), 23 shen mu (Chinese equivalent for consanant) and 16 zhen ti ren du (something with no relation to English). |
| First two sets of consanants: b p m f d t n l |
| Next two sets (third and fourth): g k h j q x |
 |
|
| Next three sets (fifth, sixth, and seventh): zh ch sh r z c s y w |
