Strengthen initials order

hello everyone in my house this is Chinese forest perfect pronunciation Pedro and Lily and I'm Chuck starting from this lesson we'll learn everything we need to know about the Chinese pinyin system we'll be talking about simple finals compound finals nasal finals initials and 0 initials we'll learn how to pronounce them write them and type them and because pinyin syllables are basically how you pronounce Chinese characters when we know how to spell and type in Yin we'll be able to type out every Chinese character by the time we finish this course you will be able to pronounce all the pain syllables when watching the video lessons be sure to listen carefully and practice the pronunciation also before we finish each video lesson there's going to be a quick listening test to see if you remember what those syllables sound like and for every video lesson there will be a homework quiz for you to do their listening practice and we have two question types multiple-choice and fill in the blanks the purpose is to strengthen our memory working towards our perfect pronunciation we recommend that you record yourself pronouncing the syllables and compare it with our pronunciation this is an excellent way to perfect your pronunciation when you listen to yourself recorded you'll be able to hear it from a more objective view so today in this introduction we'll get a general idea of what the Chinese pinyin system is like let's get started Chinese sounds can be represented by Chinese pain the pinyin system uses a Roman alphabet there are 26 letters similar to the ones that we use in English but we need to be careful because the same letter in pinyin doesn't always sound the same in English so Chinese pain has two parts the first is called initials and the other is called finals initials are consonants while finals are either vowels or start with a vowel there are 21 initials and they are poor for the to know she also there are two formal initials which are not real initials and they are E and well talked about why they are not real initials in the future there are 36 finals and we can put them into three groups simple finals compound finals and nasal finals the first group is simple finals each one of them is a single basic vowel there are six of them Oh the second group is compound finals which means each one is composed of more than one vowel there are 13 of them I a oh yeah yeah wah wah yeah y'all yo why way but yo is actually written as yo for short and way is written as way for short and the last group is called nasal finals which means these finals start with the vowel and end with the nasal consonant there are 16 of them 1/1 mmm yum yum whoa whoa and one is written as one for short also there's one special final it sounds like this our it is special because it can never be put after an initial it's always by itself and the art in our indicates the quick curling of your tongue so that's all we have been the Chinese pinyin alphabet and we already know that the Chinese language is based on characters and each character has a sound for example this one is pronounced so the sound can be represented by pinging when people talk generally one character is one PN syllable and one peen syllable usually has three parts an initial a final and a tone but sometimes there's no initial there are four different tones in Chinese the first tone the second toe the third tone and the fourth tone let's take a look at some syllables that have initials and then because they are the more common ones for example these are some Chinese being syllables here Jen long but there are also some zero initial syllables with these pinyin syllables there's no initial there's only a final and atone here are some examples um peon is great for Chinese learners because one peen helps us to remember what a character sounds like for example war I don't one I love Chinese the pinging war I draw one help us remember how each character is pronounced and two for Chinese students if there's some words that you know how to say but don't know how to write you can use pain instead like this I love Chinese War I what if I can't remember how to write drawing when I could always just write pinging instead but my favorite of course is that opinion can be used to type characters and in this course we'll learn not only how pain is pronounced but also how to write and type using pinyin so pinging is a very good system for transcribing Chinese pronunciation even though pinging is not the language itself we can say that it's an interpretation of the sounds of the Chinese language while characters are the written part right and generally Chinese publications don't come in pinyin they all come in characters except for children's books or textbooks for Chinese students so to sum it all up peon is a useful tool and by taking these twelve lessons and doing all the homework practice and quizzes for each lesson it'll be easy for you to master the pinyin system so I hope this video gives you a general idea of the pain system and next time we'll start with the basics the six simple finals she says I did thanks for watching see you next time you
