Chinese Pronunciation



Introduction


The purpose of this section is to clarify some important issues regarding the pronunciation of Mandarin Chinese. I have noticed over the years that some sources are publishing incorrect information about Mandarin pronunciation. It is my intent to identify a few of the misconceptions and to make the reality of the pronunciation of Mandarin Chinese crystal clear, both in linguistic terms and in everyday language.

Some good website where you can study chinese phonetics,

To hear the pronunication of the syllable in each cell, just click it.  For purpose of practicing, each syllable is pronounced with four tones for you to listen to, although some syllables with certain tones are meaningless in Chinese.
