Your practical, free, comprehensive online resource for Chinese pronunciation, tones, and pinyin. 599 pages and growing!
Pronunciation of Mandarin Chinese is not just for Beginners!
If you've just started learning Mandarin Chinese, you're correct to put a lot of effort into learning correct pronunciation. You really need to learn pinyin right away, and we strongly recommend you take the time to familiarize yourself with our pinyin chart.
But even if you're an elementary learner or an intermediate learner, chances are you could still gain a lot from working a bit more on your pronunciation. Below is an example of how pronunciation topics can and should be studied across various levels.
| Level | Pinyin | Tones | Other |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | Pinyin quick start guide | The four tones | - |
| A2 | Erhua | Tone change rules | - |
| B1 | Rare syllables | Tone pairs | Accents |
| B2 | - | Tone exceptions | - |
This is just a small sample, though. Check out the growing list of pronunciation points, divided by level.
