Annie’s Free Pinyin Lessons
Dear Chinese learners,
I have written four lessons on pinyin. I hope this will help you start your journey to Chinese learning. After finishing the four lessons, you should be able to pronounce the Chinese with pinyin, even without knowing what you’re saying. It’s helpful even you just learn the pronunciation, at least to get some names correctly. Like learning every other language, practice makes perfect. So if you can’t sound like a native speaker yet, don’t be frustrated.
Each lesson contains a PDF file, which you could print out for a visual reference. Course mp3 explains how everything works. Drill gives you exercise. Any suggestion and feedback are warmly welcome.
Not but not least, I would like to thank all the people who have made this happen. Special thanks to Matthew Sanders and Tommy Burke.
Sincerely yours,
Annie Chen
