Tongue Twister

In this topic i will give you a "tongue twister", which can make your tongue used to spell this Chinese pinyin correctly. Actually there are many tongue twister that we can learn

Here the example :

四 十 四 只 石 狮子
Sì Shí Sì zhǐ shí Shīzi

四 是 四
Sì Shì Sì

十 是 十
Shí Shì Shí

十四 是 十四
ShíSì Shì ShíSì

四十四 是 四十四
SìShíSì Shì SìShíSì

well first we learn it slowly but sure and finally try to make it faster and faster

Simple Conversation 3

Here i will give another dialogue Chinese for beginner so you can practice with a various example.

A : 这 是 我 爸爸。 这 是 我 妈妈。 这 是 我 朋友。
Zhè shì wǒ bàba. Zhè shì wǒ māmā. Zhè shì wǒ péngyǒu.

B : 你们 好！
Nǐmen hǎo!

C :
你 好！
Nǐ hǎo!
D :

I will give the translation of these dialogue.

A : This is my father. This is my mother. This is my friend
B : Hi!
A : Hi!

Now i will give the vocabulary of that dialogue

妈妈 = mother
爸爸 = father
朋友 = friend
这 = this
是 = to be(is,am,are)
你们 = you(plural)

I will give little explanation for this dialogue so you can learn chinese mandarin well. The expression "这是 " is usually used to introduce someone or something, the expression "我是..."is used when one introduce oneself.

"你们好" is used to greet more than one person.

Simple Conversation 2

Ok, now i will give you another dialogue so we can practice more often and improve our chinese language skill..

Dialogue 2

A : 你  忙   吗？
    Nǐ máng ma?

B : 我 不  忙。
    Wǒ bù máng.

A : 你  哥哥  好 吗？
    nǐ gēge hǎo ma?

B : 他  很  好。 你 哥哥，你  弟弟  好  吗？
    Tā hěn hǎo.nǐ gēge nǐ dìdi hǎo ma?

A : 他们  都  很  好.
   Tāmen dōu hěn hǎo.


忙   máng  = busy
哥哥 gēge   = elder brother
弟弟 dìdi  = younger brother
他们 Tāmen = they;them
都  dōu    = all


Translation


A : Are you busy?
B : I'm not busy.
A : How is your brother?
B : He's fine. How are your elder and younger brother?
A : They all fine.

Simple Conversation

After i gave you the basic of Chinese mandarin language, Now i will give you a simple conversation so you can practice. But make sure that your pinyin and your intonation are correct, because different intonation different meaning.

Dialgoue 1

A :你 好 吗？
   Nǐ hǎo ma?

B : 我 很  好。 你 呢？
   Wǒ hěn hǎo. Nǐ ne？

A :  我 也 很 好。
    Wǒ yě hěn hǎo.

你 = you
我 = I, me                           
很 = very
也 = also;too
好 = fine
吗 = an interrogative particle
呢 = a modal particle(in this conversation just like you ask again)


In english this conversation become


A : How are you?
B : I'm fine. And you?
A : I'm fine too



This is one of a simple conversation in Chinese mandarin..Next time i will give you another simple conversation again.

Video Pronounciation Pinyin

Here, i will give a several video so we can study mandarin easier than we just see a note. Hope all of you can increase the basic of chinese language so we don't make it wrong how to spell it.

Combination pinyin consonant and vowel(4)

after 2 weeks i postponed from blogging now i start again. I give a table of pinyin chart that can help you to study.
well it seems small but maybe u can click the picture, press Ctrl and scroll it to make it bigger so you can see it eventhough it isn't clearly..

After this combination, i will give you a simple conversation so you can practice. And also i give a you a video about that conversation itself so if you make a mistake with spelling you can rewind that video

Picture pinyin mandarin(consonant)

Well here i will give a table of pinyin mandarin that we can see the table clearly and also we can practice. And if we have a problem with that words we can see the explanation that i gave it before


And for making easy to learn Chinese mandarin, i give a video of pronounciation Chinese pinyin eventhough it's not complete just like a table. Hope you can learn it well

Combination pinyin consonant and vowel(3)

Well, like i said before the rest for the combination always same. But there are several special pinyin that we can't combine it just like 'f' + 'i' the result is unknown. Then i'd like to tell that several special pinyin which we can combine and can't combine.

We can't combine :

'b','d','p','m','f','t','g','k','h','zh','ch','sh','r','z','c','s' with 'ü' because there's no meaning when we combine it and there's no sound that can be build with that combination

'f','g','k','h' can't combine with 'i'

And we can combine consonant and vowel but the sound looks different

'zh' + 'i' = cee(make our tongue up almost attach with our mouth cavity, and when we said that pinyin still your tongue up of our mouth cavity)

'ch' + 'i' = chee(make our tongue up almost attach with our mouth cavity, and when we said that pinyin still your tongue up of our mouth cavity and do not forget when you say that there's a wind come out from our mouth)

'sh' + 'i' = shee(make our tongue up almost attach with our mouth cavity, and when we said that pinyin still your tongue up of our mouth cavity)

'r' + 'i' = ree(make our tongue up almost attach with our mouth cavity, and when we said that pinyin still your tongue up of our mouth cavity)


'zh' + 'e' = cee(make our tongue up almost attach with our mouth cavity, and when we said that pinyin our tongue already not in above of our mouth cavity)

'ch' + 'e' = chee(make our tongue up almost attach with our mouth cavity, and when we said that pinyin our tongue already not in above of our mouth cavity and do not forget when you say that there's a wind come out from our mouth)

'sh' + 'e' = shee(make our tongue up almost attach with our mouth cavity, and when we said that pinyin our tongue already not in above of our mouth cavity)

'r' + 'e' = ree(make our tongue up almost attach with our mouth cavity, and when we said that pinyin our tongue already not in above of our mouth cavity)

And i think the hardest part for learning Chinese mandarin is how to make it different to spell 'zh' + 'ch' + 'sh' + 'r' when we combine with 'i' or 'e'. It just needs time to spell that combination correctly

Combination pinyin consonant and vowel(2)

I will continue the other combination of 2 pinyin

'b' + 'e' = pee(just like we say "persuade" but it's just only take pe)

'p' + 'e' = phee(the sound same as pee but remember wind out from our mouth)

'm' + 'e' = mee(the sound is me like sound "mermaid" but without 'r' n also with little long sound)

'f' + 'e' = fee(the sound is fe but with little long sound e, so it's not "fee" in english)


'b' + 'o' = poo(just like we say "polite" but we just only take po and with little long sound)

'p' + 'o' = phoo(same as 'b' + 'o' but don't forget that there's a wind out from our mouth and with little long sound)

'm' + 'o' = moo(just like we say "mortal" , just only take mo and with little long sound)

'f' + 'o' = foo(like we say "fox" but only take fo itself and with little long sound)


'b' + 'i' = pii(like we say "pizza" but inly take pi and with little long sound)

'p' + 'i' = phii(not different with 'b' + 'i' just don't forget that there's a wind out from out mouthand with little long sound)

'm' + 'i' = mii(with little long sound)

'f' + 'i' = nothing(especially for 'f' there isn't a word 'fi' so theres nothing sound like that)


'b' + 'u' = puu(like we say "push" but only take word 'pu' and with little long sound)

'p' + 'u' = phuu(same as before but don't forget there's a widn out from our mouth when we say that and with little long sound)

'm' + 'u' = muu(just like we say "Mulan" just take mu itself and with little long sound)

'f' + 'u' = fuu(like we say "full" but only take fu and use it with little long sound)

this is a several combination Chinese pinyin consonant and vowel and the rest is always same and the next one i will try to tell another combination

Combination pinyin consonant and vowel

Before i forget i want to tell you that there are another Chinese pinyin consonant, it's 'y' and 'w' for 'y' i''ll explain it this another consonant and i will combination all the Chinese pinyin consonant with Chinese pinyin vowel.

'y'
We read i(it's just like we say 'i' ini pinyin vowel but if in pinyin vowel 'i' we read so long sound but here we just read so light and no long sound ' )

'w'
We read u(it's just like we say 'u' ini pinyin vowel but if in pinyin vowel 'u' we read so long sound but here we just read so light and no long sound ')

Now we try to combination the pinyin
First we try it with b, p, m, f and combination with 'a'

'b' + 'a' = paa(remember it's just collaboration pinyin consonant and pinyin vowel so don't forget that formula)

'p' + 'a' = phaa(do not for get to spell it with wind blow from your mouth)

'm' + 'a' = maa(just like you say ma as usual)

'f' + 'a' = faa(same as u say fa for 'do re mi fa sol la si do'but make it little the sound long little)

Another session will discuss about another collaboration Chinese pinyin consonant and Chinese pinyin vowel

pinyin vowel(2)

For the last session i already share about Chinese pinyin vowel for 'a', 'o', 'e', and here i will discuss about another pinyin vowel. It's 'i' 'u' 'ü', i think from these 3, just 'ü' is the most difficult for pinyin vowel because you must try and try again, to make it correctly..

Now, here the 3 another Chinese pinyin vowel

'i'

We read 'yii' (maybe in english 'i' we called ai just like ice-cream, but in here 'i' is just like we say immune so it's a little different and maybe it's easier for Indonesian people to speak 'i' and also for practice this pinyin must we say yiiiii with a long sound )

'u'
We read 'wuuu'(In english 'u' we say a or e just like umbrella or urgent, in chinese 'u' we say wuuu with a long sound maybe it's easier for Indonesian people to speak it out because it's just as same as we say 'u' )

'ü'
We read 'yuuuiii'(I think this is the hardest one for pinyin vowel, because if you want to try to speak it out you must make your lips move on just like you want to kiss someone and the sound itself it's just a collaboration with 'u' and 'i' )

Basically, that's all of Chinese pinyin that available and for the next term i will give you Combination of Chinese pinyin vowel and Chinese pinyin consonant.

pinyin vowel

Well..I've already discuss about Chinese pinyin consonant in my last blog. Now i want to share with all of you about another that we called Chinese pinyin vowel. Pinyin vowel is less than pinyin consonant, it's just a vocal 'a' 'o' 'e' 'i' 'u' and 'ü'..

I think to learn Chinese mandarin pinyin vowel is easier than Chinese pinyin consonant so i think you'll learn it faster.

I'll try my best to explain about this
'a'
We say A(with a long sound like AAAA)

'o'
We say O(with a long sound like OOOO)

'e'
We say E(with a long sound like EEEE ; e->early not e->empty). And i inserted the picture for more information(hope you can understand what i meant)

For Chinese pinyin vowel 'i' 'u' 'ü' i will discuss later, for little information 'i' 'u' just same as 'a' 'e' 'o' but for 'ü' it's different case

pinyin consonant(3)

As i told before, Chinese pinyin zh,ch,sh,r are more difficult than other pinyin. Now i'll try to explain what's the different pinyin zh,ch,sh,r with pinyin z,c,s. pinyin z,c,s is just like derivative of pinyin zh,ch,sh,r
The differences is when we try to speak it out the tone, it seems lighter.

I'll give it the explanation, here it is the last of Chinese pinyin

'z' we read "ce"(it seems not different with "zh" but when we try to speak it out it's lighter than "zh", our upper teeth and lower teeth attach just we have a big smile and show our teeth, and our tongue attach with lower teeth)

for me i think it's more simple than i try to speak "zh"

'c' we read"che"(it seems not different with "ch" but when we try to speak it out it's lighter than "ch", our upper teeth and lower teeth attach just we have a big smile and show our teeth, and our tongue attach with lower teeth, but remember when we try to speak that pinyin there's a wind blow out from our mouth)

's' we read "se"(just like "sh" but it's lighter than we speak "sh", the explanation itself it's not different with "c" or "z" but maybe i think when we speak it out there's also a wind blow out from our mouth but not too strong as we speak "c")

And of course pinyin zh,ch,sh,r and z,c,d are more difficult to learn it. It needs time to make it fluent, if i have a mistake about teaching Chinese pinyin you can give me a comment, and i will try to fix it as i can..

pinyin consonant(2)

For the last session i gave some information about Chinese pinyin how to spell it correctly with the simple one. Now i will continue for the fifth line, i think there's a problem to learn with this Chinese pinyin. Because this pinyin little hard to study so i'll try explain as i can.

for the fifth line of the Chinese pinyin
'zh' we read "ce" (but remember this will make our tongue tired cause when we try to spell it our tongue move upper which touch to the top of our mouth cavity)

'ch' we read "che" (same like 'zh' but when we try to read it, sounds seems heavy and there's an air out of our mouth)

'sh' we read "she"(same like 'zh' but when we try to read it, sounds seems heavy and there's an air out of our mouth)

'r' we read "re"(same like 'zh' but when we try to spell it, our tongue vibrate not too strong just same as we speak 'r' in english )

For the beginner it will be hard, but we must try and try again. And suggest from me if you want to practice don't forget drink as much as you can because it'll be tired...trust me..

From all the Chinese pinyin i think fifth line and last line is more difficult than other Chinese pinyin. It takes time to make it correct and fluently to speak. I think to learn chinese mandarin especially for Chinese pinyin it will take 2 weeks until 1 month if you learn it everyday.

Pin yin (consonant)

To learn Chinese for beginner we must know and learn what we called Chinese pinyin. For Chinese pinyin we divided into 2. First for the consonant and last for vowel. I think Chinese pinyin consonant more difficult than Chinese pinyin vowel, it needs time to spell it correctly. The Chinese pinyin consonant such as :

b p m f
d t n l
g k h
j q x
zh ch sh r
z c s

for the first line
'b' we read pe

'p' we read phe (when you try to read it, the sounds seems heavy and there's an air out from our mouth)

'm' we read me

'f' we read fe

for the second line
'd' we read te

't' we read the(when you try to read it, the sounds seems heavy and there's an air out from our mouth)

'n' we read ne

'l' we read le

for the third line
'g' we read ke

'k' we read khe (when you try to read it, the sounds seems heavy and there's an air out from our mouth)

'h' we read he

for the fourth line
'j' we read ci

'q' we read chi(when you try to read it, the sounds seems heavy and there's an air out from our mouth)

'x' we read si

for the fifth and for the last will be continue in next session because it's little harder than the preview Chinese pinyin..

Chinese

Hello guys..This is my first time for blogging and in this blog i'll try to give some information how to learn chinese language or we can called learn chinese mandarin for the beginner..

As we know, chinese has more and more powerful than other Asia country. Their economy, business, infrastructure, etc have grown faster and i think it can stand equal with super-power country, America.

We can see from computer, handphone, electricity and most of product right now are from china. The most important thing from China's product is cheap, so they can stand against other product from another country.

Chinese culture also very remarkable, we can see their old building, history, scenery, and also chinese people are also friendly. So, why don't we try to learn chinese language right now, we can communicate with them and also we can know how their lifestyle

I just hope we can share and learn together about chinese language.
