Lots Initials Made Easy

Revise initials notice

so in this video I'm going to talk about pinyin pinyin is a way of writing Chinese sounds using Roman letters so Chinese has a lots of lots of sounds a lot of the lot of them were very different from ours and there is a way of writing them down using our Roman letters and it's called pinyin there are many systems an opinion is the I think the most universal and the most popular one so that's why I'm going to talk about it and this first part of the I think it's going to be a two part series I'm going to talk about the so called initials in pinyin which is the first section if you will of a Chinese syllable and the second section is called the final so initials and finals and I'm going to talk about the initials which are usually consonants and the constant is that you can see basically on this screen one remark that I would like to say is that the letters that you can see here not always a correspond to the sounds that they would correspond in in English for instance right because especially it's true of this group over here this last sort of bluish group sounds in Chinese there are a lot of lot of sounds lots of lots of sounds that are very very different from our Western languages and whoever was responsible for creative in yin just had to choose some letters arbitrarily to represent these alien SAP so of course if you'd have an excuse and J in a Chinese syllable for instance you would have a X I Q I and J I and the first tone then you would read it as follows si si si so as you can see it has nothing to do with XQ and J in English for instance right si si and this is the case for I hope all consonants in this group this arrangement that you can see over here is my personal division you may like it you may not like it but I sort of separate or arrange these consonants according to how distant were they are from our languages or how difficult or easy they are so this one is the easiest one this group is easiest one or the closest group to our languages this is the second was difficult and this is completely alien I would say or very alien to most Western languages so the first group consists of in my opinion for sounds for consonants FM and L and they are almost they are pronounced I would say 90% or 95% the same as they are in Chinese as they would entranced in most Western languages so just to give you an example let's try the civil where we have a and basically as the as the final there is the main bowel all in the first term will be far ma na la nothing...
