Our guides might seem a bit overwhelming at first if you’ve never encountered Chinese before. When you learn how to speak Chinese, you will want to know a bit about Pinyin. Pinyin is the official system and is used to translate the Chinese characters to our Roman alphabet. If that seems too intimidating, begin reading the Chinese text that has the same transcriptions as the Roman alphabet. Use an audio tutorial with the readings to learn the proper pronunciation of any word.
Thus, before you download our guides, we suggest you hire a tutor from our site to help you with Pinyin. Barring that, you can search out a tutor or introductory Chinese class in your local area. Whatever the case, Pinyin comes first; our guides come second.
Keep in mind that the Chinese language has become increasingly popular all over the world. There are hundreds of Universities abroad offering Oriental studies degrees. And now there are thousands of Chinese language courses all over the world. Take a local community Chinese class and do the practice drills with your study partner to learn pi. The more you speak, the easier it will be for you to learn.Most try to teach you how to speak Chinese and how to read Chinese characters — that is, just using Pinyin. But when it comes to writing Chinese characters, most courses shy away from that. The reason is simpl:. It takes a lot of willpower and time to be able to master Chinese Characters. That’s where we come in. So master your Pinyin first, and come back to us when you’re ready to learn to write.
