I know it can be hard to get the Chinese pronounced right and authentically. Here is the phonic system we used as we learn and teach Chinese in Taiwan which I think is a much easier path to go. It could be overwhelming when you first see them. But I guarantee you, once you become familiar with them, they will be your best friends in learning Chinese.I really recommend this phonic system for teaching the kids, especially the younger ones.
As you see in the picture, there are 2 groups of phonics: 聲母consonances(blue) and 韻母 vowels (gold).
Here are 2 simple songs to teach you how to pronouce them. They work just like how we learn aphabets through the ABC song. Start singing them and you will get a hang of the system. :)
Of course, I will show you how I teach my kids using the system in the future posts.
Hello!
This is my first blog post.:)
I''m Yen-Yu Shih. I'm a stay at home mom with 2 beautiful girls(4y and 2y). I'm originally from Taiwan where I received my education degree from teacher's college and the national teacher's license to teach various subjects from Pre-k to elementary schools. I start this blog to write about my experience of teaching my 2 kiddos Chinese in our home school and sharing some tips for those who need the resources to teach their kids or themselves Chinese. I hope you will enjoy this blog. Look forward to meeting you here.
