Chinese Pinyin System
1. The symbols are similar to English letters,
2. but does not always sounds alike.
3. Therefore, you will get confused if teachers teach
you Pinyin (symbols) first.
4. So the best way that is adapting skills of learning
your mother tong.
5. Speak it (the target language- Chinese) first and
then learn the symbols (letters) later.

More initials
d (as in “stay”, BUT unaspirated“t”)
t (as in “tag”, BUT aspirated“t”)
g (as in “ski”, BUT unaspirated and voiceless
“k”)
k (as in “key”, BUT an aspirated and voiceless
“k”)
F (as in “fog”) and more~~~, so

The best way to learn: has a
private tutor!
