Chinese pronunciation(二)

January 29th, 2010 by elaine

Many students are struggling to pronounce Pinyin well. “j, q, x and zh, ch, sh” are the most difficult ones because there are no such initials in their language. In the following weeks I will talk about the manner of articulation and focus on the position of the tongue

Articulation “j”

Press the front part of the tongue gently against the hard palate (the alveolar ridge) to form a complete blockage, and then release the tongue slightly to create a narrow passage, through which the air squeeze out with an affricate sound. The vocal cords do not vibrate. According to the orthography, when ü follows y, j, q, or x, it is written as u.

Pactice these combination

ji li,   jia ju,   jie jie,   jiang he,   jing zi
