Introducing Chinese phonic system-注音符號

 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.
