Learn Chinese with Yangyang - Pinyin Lesson "ü" and its spelling rules

[venusviola]

This is how the "u" is always pronounced in French and in Milanese dialect - and since I grew up hearing these two languages it's really easy for me :)

[TubeGuest5178]

the hardest sound is "person" in mandarin . "Person" in pinyin is "ren" but you have to pronounce it in a way that Americans never have to pronounce!!!! like in the pinyin word "Meiguoren" or American person....its like you say: May-gwuh-rhylen...

[RockGodFuck]

luckily in my native language (german) there is the sound ü too, so this is not that hard for me :)

[ale15926]

Chinese ü is like the French u.

[themetalkid1996]

before i looked directly at the red thing at 0:11 i thought it was a penis..

[chaosmansleek]

youre amazing...randomly, i've decided to learn mandarin at 3:33am XD

[LearnChineseWithEase]

Loved all that you taught about pronouncing the "ü" sound!

(Explaining that the "u" sound is used with zh, ch, sh and that the "ü" sound is for j, q, x might help to differentiate them, but you might already have that in the next lesson! :-))

holy macaroni

[jajysodaa]

Thank you so much. Your Chinese and English is every every good.I like that so much.Thanks for your kindness :)

[ILoveDominikaDetko]

We got ü , ä , ö sounds in German so its preety easy.

The rule that this sounds comes with xu , yu ...

and so on is ok, they do sound better with an ü then with an u sound

in Japanese its much harder, you do not know when they speak the u

or do not spell it at all and when they do you do not know

using now the ü or u sound, you have to learn them mostly all

I wish there would be a rule how to see this in japanese, too.

The teacher is very beautiful

[emperorsenshi]

some people pronounce the word 'new' with this sound.

She is so cute

[jimi1234567]

I think i can help her with her "ooo" sound.

[themadypink]

being a woman and saying this is sounds weird but!!! i'm in love with the way you teach you're the best!!

[innerchild9x]

You are now my favorite teacher! You're pretty, funny, and smart! I tend to become a teacher's pet haha Love these these lessons, thanks!

[DrinkingStar]

Yangyang is by far the best teacher of language that I have come across. I am dyslexic and tone deaf with an analytical mind...I have bookmarked over a dozen "Learn to Speak Chinese/pinyin" and her video are the Occam razor in learning Chinese pinyin compared to every other site and Chinese speaking person I have come across. She is the Chinese Rosetta Stone

[MissFeiLunHai]

i don't have any problem with saing ü, cause here in sweden, thats how we prunoce u. but I do have problems with saying the english u:( but I'm glad THAT wont be the problem with the chinese langue.

[veerod100]

Make sense for ju, qu, xu and yu if the "u"s are never pronounced as "oo" when combined with j, g, x or y. In the case of someone with a last name of 吕, if pinyin is LU, wouldn't that get confused with the last name of 陆 since both would have pinyins as LU?

Regardless, you are a very good teacher.

[WCiossek]

Ich bin jetzt überglücklich. Ja ! In some european languages like german, hungarian, frisian, turkish and french there is also an ü!

[Keleidun]

That was by far the best explanation and demonstration of ü. Am happy that confusion is now cleared up. 谢谢您 :)

[shanmuhammad1]

[SinJeeeah]

Great lessons, thx! I am from Hungary so maybe you know that Hungarian words sound similar to Chinese. We also have the ü sound so it is easy to spell it to me :)

Keep up the good work! I subscribed! Xie, Xie!

[ShinjiCrowley]

Useful not only for Mandarin, but also for French and German :)

[EmjayCuenco]

Hi Yang, thanks for sharing your lessons in this channel. It is very helpful. I just wanna ask if you can add the traditional phonetic sounds "b p m f" together with the english alphabet? :)

[tojsiab100]

I want to study the Original character of sounds.

[learnchineseonline1]

Great explanation!

[MultiMexico1234]

it kond of sounds like "yu".

[robertgenito]

thank you for uploading this video! very helpful :)

[sprengstoff9]

Yangyang, one thing I've been struggling with is the pronounciation of u. I've heard it pronounced both as oo, o. I usually hear it pronounced as o, but have been yelled at for not pronouncing it oo. Is this difference geographical?

[tesla40k]

@sprengstoff9 the native region of the speaker does make a difference. For example, because of the lack of 捲舌音 in their native language, many native speakers of the Min language group tend to pronounce "ü" as "i," for example "美女" sounds like "美妳," or "綠茶" as "立cá"... Other than the standard, I've only heard "ü" pronounced as "u" or "i". But then again, I've only associated with Taiwanese, Cantonese and Bejingese
