review the pinyin

Hi, here is a great website for you to review and practice the pinyin we've talked about these days.http://www.instantspeakchinese.com/pinyin/


1. To review the initials, click the "initials" tab on the left. Move your mouse on each initial and you'll hear the sound.


2. To review the six most basic vowels (a, o, e, i ,u, v), click the "finals" tab. Move your mouse on each final and you'll hear the sound. You are only required to review these six vowels now, but if you want to move a little bit further, you can listen to the sounds of other finals.


3. To review the combinations of each initial with each of the six basic vowels, click the "Combination tables
  - Table 1 (a,o,e,i)
 - 
Table 2 (i)
 - 
Table 3 (u,ü)"
on the left. 
Same as what you do with the initials or the finals, move your mouse to the sound. 

For tomorrow's quiz, we'll only test what we've covered so far (we've reviewed every initial, but for the finals, we only covered the most basic ones:a, o, e, i, u, v), so your focus should be the sounds we've covered these days.

Can't wait to see you!
