Pinyin Pronunciation Cheat Sheet

Pinyin - 拼音 (pīn yīn) - is the most commonly used system for transcribing or spelling out the phonetic sounds of the Mandarin Chinese language. It uses the letters in the Latin alphabet that English speakers are already familiar with. Pinyin is an extremely useful tool and should be the foundation of your Chinese learning. It's actually the first thing that native Chinese children learn before learning characters!

Consonant and Vowel Examples

This cheat sheet provides sounds in the English language that are APPROXIMATELY EQUIVALENT to the sounds in the Mandarin Chinese language (as represented by pinyin). Along side our video lessons and Interactive Pinyin Chart, it can be an extra tool to help you master Chinese pronunciation!
