What is Pinyin?
Pinyin is like a superhero alphabet for the Chinese language. It uses the English alphabet to show us how to say Chinese words. So, instead of Chinese characters that might look like pictures, Pinyin helps us sound out the words using letters we already know.

Why do we need to learn Pinyin?
Learning Pinyin is like having a map to explore the Chinese language. It helps us understand how to say words and makes it easier to learn new ones.


Advantages of learning Pinyin:

✅ Sounding it out: Pinyin helps us say Chinese words correctly. It's like having a guide so we don't get lost in the sounds.
✅ Building words: Once we know Pinyin, we can combine the sounds to create lots of different words. It's like having building blocks to make sentences!
✅ Making friends with characters: Chinese characters might look tricky, but Pinyin makes them less scary. It's like having a friendly introduction to those cool characters.


⚠️PLUS! This is a self-paced course, No live meeting⚠️
