The "e" vowel

Revision as of 12:58, 21 March 2015 by WikiSysop (talk | contribs)

The "a" vowel is a pretty easy one. Time to take on a vowel that is just slightly trickier. The "e" in Mandarin Chinese is slightly tricky because it can be pronounced in two different ways. You simply have to memorize when it makes one sound and when it makes the other.
