Is there any Chinese vowel you’re still struggling with? Feel free to let me know in the comment! 💛
Could you please make more videos about all Vowel Chinese in IPA and mouth map?
I'm having trouble with the l+v, n+v combinations because the initial has the tongue at the top, but v has tongue at the bottom... I can't change the position fast enough apparently
please e!!
Mostly those combinations of consonants/syllables that produce unexpected or irregular sounds, you mentioned in the video bo,po,fo,mo but there is also yan, yuan and I guess there are more. Xiè xiè :D
Single vowel not that much, but things like 魚 and xù vs xü4, plus some words that seem to be pronounced in a different way in different teaching materials, such as 全(some seem to sound more like "an" and other more like "en" at the end)
Fun fact: I’m a linguistics major and I recommend just learning phonology in GENERAL as it will give you a deeper understanding of the sounds in your language of choice that you want to study! I’d encourage anyone interested in this to branch into the field of linguistics as I’m sure there will be something you’d be interested in learning. With that being said, I feel like I’ve learned more about Chinese with this approach than I did studying Chinese in Taiwan. If schools used phonetics more im sure most people wouldn’t hate learning languages so much!
Hi, my native language is spanish, when I was 12 years old I used to study the phonetic of my native language just for fun, later when i started to study others languages i realized that in deep it was very helpful. When you know basic phonetic it is like you could SEE the sounds , but when you try to learn other language just listening without learn how the sounds works it is like you were blind. Learn phonetic is a solid base to be able to compare what you knew with you are gonna learn.
I think we don't need to think about vowels etc what we hear we can say it without thinking about tongue position and lips or mouth position
I personally have done quite a bit of amateur research on phonetics and linguistics in my high school years and continue to do so in my spare time. I’m no major, but I have a pretty good understanding of it which helps me a lot in my language journey (besides studying Chinese I speak English {natively}, Spanish, and Portuguese). Then again, being young might have helped 😅
Omg your an amazing teacher! Using IPA as a guide to learn mandarin sounds is the approach that I need to finally master mandarin.
I highly agree!
Same
What is IPA?
@@androidedecarne5818 International Phonetic Alphabet ❤️
You did make the ü sound much easier to understand. Thank you! I can tell a difference in my pronunciation already!
Finally understands how to pronounce ü after all this time 😭 thankyou
Thank you soooo much, the diagrams make it so much easier to pronounce these vowels
Thank you !! Having the IPA description and diagram is so useful to see together
Thanks for u with two dots on top. The picture and explanation helped me understand how to make the sound.
老師，謝謝您無私的分享，非常詳細，感恩❤️
you saved me with the ü , it's so much easier once you know the importance of tongue position! tysm
Hi, thank you so much for your insightful videos! I love how you set up your videos from the tongue images to examples and so on.
Also, can you make a video on compound finals. Thank you so much if you do, I’m struggling so much with pronunciation and your videos have helped me a lot ❤️☺️
these videos are priceless to help build a solid foundation for pronunciation. thank you so much Grace
almost broke my tongue practicing uuuuuuuuuu
😂
thanks
RAZOR KEVZ 😂😂
Hello Grace, thank you so much for the practical and useful lessons. I am trying to teach people Mandarin and your videos help me a lot. I appreciate your work and your efforts. You're amazing. ❤️
Thank you for including a vocal apparatus chart to help me visually concentrate on hidden muscles or paths.
Best teacher, thank you very much
Hi ! i just stumbled upon your channel since i was looking for tips into learning the vowel pronunciation, and i am so happy that i stumbled on your lessons ! it's very helpful
I was wondering if you were planning on doing a lesson on the missing group of vowel : ai ei ui ao ou iu ie üe er
thanks and keep up the amazing videos !
Hi. Nice work. One of the best to explain how to pronounce ü.
Thank you for this useful lesson!
Brilliant. Perfect explanations. Light years ahead of the some alternative videos I have searched on this where they think you should be able to figure out all the tongue and mouth positions just by looking at their face.
Thank you so much that's truly amazing method to learn pronunciation
thank you so much,Grace.You are great!
Thank you so much for so professional explanation!
this is a very well explained video, thank you 😊😊🙏
Great instruction.
Super detailed video. Thanks for that :)
you're very helpful tanks
Hi Grace! I’m self learning Mandarin and these videos are very helpful for me. I purchased Integrated Chinese and am starting to work through that. I have been making notes and drawing these visuals to practice during the day. The only thing I noticed is that your video doesn’t include “e” which was included in my textbook under simple finals with these vowels. Do you cover it in another video?
Hi I just found your channel and im really loving it! I have studied chinese since primary school but i have often a lot of confusions because i usually speak french and english in my country, and in chinese the sentence structures are different. PLZZZ make more videos about sentence structures! I find it so fascinating when a local speaker explains the difference between english and chinese sentences structures ! Love ur channel. 加油加油
Cedric Ng Thanks for your suggestion! And I’m so glad to have you here! :D
Hi Grace, I just decide to learn Mandarin Chinese language from this day while I am watching your professional and master pronunciation. I am interest on that.
What about e simple vowel and compound vowels? Coz I can’t find those from your TH-cam channel.
I really appreciate you for your sharing and thanks
I love so much your videos
Very cool video with the pictures of the tongue
thanks a lot. it's very very useful
谢谢！
Good lesson
Thank you
Hi! i've been learning mandarin for half a year now, however i didn't know how bad my pronunciation was before binge watching all ur pronunciation videos 🥺, they've been rlly helpful, 谢谢
Thanks ❤️❤️
Nice, tks a lot
Where do you get these images of the mouth shapes? I want to find some and print them out :)
Amazing ❤
Thank you for your time
No problem! ;)
Thank God.I found you.
Sounds great
Hello! You are an excellent teacher, thank you very much for your videos. I have a question, what are those symbols next to the vowels? What do they mean?
great explanation as usual, I was going to ask you to explain the sound of the "e" but I see that it is in: Master Chinese Pronunciation - "in eng / in ing / an ang." Gracias!!!
Great video
老师是漂亮.
SO glad I found your video as I finally understand the letter o's two different pronunciations. Other language channels I watched would say it differently from each other when reciting the vowels but never gave an explanation or even an acknowledgement for the discrepancy despite all teaching standard Mandarin. It is nice to finally know why they would pronounce it differently from each other.
Hi, thank you for making this video so interesting. Could you make how to pronounce "w", "y", in Chinese?
Can u use the word luxing which means to go to travel?
This is very helpful. What about the "e" sound?
Feichang xie! This video is really helpful. Could u make the ai, ei, ao, uo?
Thx grace
Can you do a video explaining the pronunciations for compound finals? The difference between the pronunciations confuse me there
Thank you very much. You are the best Chinese teacher. Where Can I find something about "Y"?
This was very helpful, thank you! I came here because I was having trouble with the ü sound, and I discovered that my problem was that I had been using the wrong tongue shape for the yi sound.
I’m not sure if other native English speakers have this same tendency, but I found that I was making the yi sound by raising the middle portion of my tongue to the roof of my mouth instead of the front part. Once I fixed this, and rounded my lips, the ü sound came through much more clearly and had more of that slight buzzing sound. Thanks again!
germany language has this
ü
@@user-gk4ub2jn6vcorrect me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the German ü pronounced different than the Mandarin ü?
@@Kidynamo123 almost same。are you German or Austrian？
@@user-gk4ub2jn6v No I’m American, but I spent some time living in Germany as a child and am now trying to understand pinyin so I can start learning conversational Mandarin. Many of my research colleagues are from Mandarin-speaking regions
@@Kidynamo123 ah。I think chinese pronunciation isn't very hard for English speaker。but the tone is difficult for you。Chinese has five tones。a o e i u ü,pinyin o is similar to “o” in Russian，and
when a vowel ends with n
or ng,its pronunciation will be changed.for example an ,ang.
Thank you very much. I'm wondering why the 'e' is not included in the vowels?
The drawings of how to put lips and mouth are very good. I will practice! 😋😋
Los 40 Un Cuento Chino 加油💪 Happy that you like my drawings haha 😝
你好
Ms. Grace! What vowel should I say when pronouncing the ü . I’m totally confused 🤧
When you speak you don't need to think about vowels we can speak even without thinking so we dont need to learn about vowels what we hear we can say it without thinking about tongue or mouth position. Even tongue or mouth position can be different like if you sad you might say something by sad looking or if you are happy your face look happy and change. We can easily focous on the words and say without thinking about tongue and mouth shape.
Grace u r doin' good job . I'm learning from you
Loik Khalimov Thank you! 😄😄
@@GraceMandarinChinese not at all haha
Grace could you make some vds about topics like "in the airport". or "in the office" or in the factory , something like that you know better than me haha . because when I need some vocabulary I use translator but there are many words I don't know which one should I use . that's why I'm asking you to teach us commonly used expressions during the work .... I always wait for new vds
Loik Khalimov Thanks for the suggestion! :D
Hi there. I'd like to say that all these videos are really helpful. Is it possible a video about homophones? 谢谢你。
Lucas Matias.Coach_ Thank you for supporting my pronunciation series :D and the suggestion also!
Well, Ü is simple to pronounce as we have it in french and german
true it seems extremely similar to the german ü
Could you please make a video on the letter y?
👍
When will your next video about vowels be published? Your Videos about pronunciation are very useful to beginners like me. Thanks!
Thank you! I'm glad you like these videos! About the next pronunciation lesson, I'm still planning that so I don't know a specific time yet. :P
哈哈，没人会想到我在中文课学英文^O^非常不错的视频
何龙 哈哈謝謝你! 😆
I wonder if some consonants like zh, ch, sh, z, c combining with a vowel "i", the both tongue positions require differently. how to pronounce these combinations.
Phonetics! Excellent lesson!
Carlos Machado Thanks!
Well
A thing I always wanted to know, do you think, as a native speaker, that U/W sound sounds like a "V" sometimes? I don't know if this has to do with accent or my own ears but syllables like 'wei' amidst other syllables sounds sometimes like "Vei"/"Vuei".
Thank you for the video.
João Vitor Hi! This is a good question! That V sound is about accents, most people pronounce like that are from the Northern part of China. Like in Taiwan I’ve never heard people pronounce “w/u” like “v”. You have a good observation!
@@GraceMandarinChinese Interesting, I've noticed similar sounding in Japanese too. But i guess both sounds have a connection in pronunciation like d and t. As far as I know the letter 'U' was created from the letter 'V', maybe because of that connection :)
João Vitor I didn’t know this! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me! ☺️☺️
doesn't i have like 3 different pronunciations? consider shi (shrrr), mi (mee), and ci (can't really write it phonetically, but maybe like "tseugh")
Master
Sad that she didn't make videos about the other vowels.
This sound in PO can be transcripted as a W sound between
Hello, I want to ask is your accent standard chinese? Do you have any dialects in your pronunciation?
Thank you.
I'm a native chinese, I think her accent is quite standard and pleasing.
Most of chinese consonants and vowels have same sounds like we have in hindi.
Actually hindi is my mother tounge😊
Ni hou ❤️
Cassie Carullo 你好👋
o and uo in chinese are quite similar，我很纠结啦
In Germany we have ü ö ä ß
你好!我不知道 b p m f 怎么发音。你可以播放一个视频吗？谢谢！
Ü sound in Chinese is quite similar to the Swedish U sound (my first language is Swedish) . It's almost like a sound in between the Swedish "Y" and "U". It's quite interesting. The tones is the problem for me, not the vowel sounds.
chinese ü is similar to Germany ü。I DON'T konw how pronounce it in your language。üe ün is also hard to pronounce
This is a good video but you didn't mention the i sound in words like chi 吃 or zhi 只
5:27
ü is so difficult to say and I am confused because it seems to sound different on different chinese channels
What about pronouncing the "e" sound?
e is like the korean language ''eu"
if the sound i, it like there is a little bit y, so it will be like yi
Also like u, u have a little bit w
And ü sounds like i
Спасибо за ролик )) никак не могла понять как произносится \ ü\, но после просмотра вашего ролика сразу поняла⊂(・▽・⊂)
I'm here because I'm playing a game from Mihoyo and I'm learning to read pinyin✌️
Don't mind me~
😅idk but everytime i try to pronounce I, and Xi, my tongue always touch the bottom part of my mouth....
what happen to e
ü
Cant say month...find muy difficil
AEIOUÜ
I almost swallow my own tongue 😅👅
Lukas 熊猫 Haha it seems like you practiced very hard XD
