Interested in learning Mandarin Chinese pinyin pronunciations in less than five minutes? This video takes learners through the basic pronunciations of the vowels and consonants in the Chinese language. "Pinyin" is a pronunciation system designed to help learners who are familiar with the Roman alphabet to quickly and easily pick up Chinese pronunciation. All the spoken words in Chinese are created by combining the sounds of the initial consonants with the vowels. The video serves to provide a way for learners to hear the pronunciation sounds, see how the sounds are made, and practice at their own pace. (Created while at BetterChinese).
