| + | #REDIRECT [[The "c" and "z" sounds]] |
| − | | |
| − | Although the sounds that pinyin "c" and "z" make are not actually super foreign to speakers of English, there are two reasons they deserve special attention:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # The sounds "c" and "z" make ''are not'' the sounds they make in English | |
| − | # Pronouncing the "c" and "z" sounds in Chinese is difficult for some learners
