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 :)

@taylorhg - 3 years and you wrote that statement in English?! Where's the Chinese my 3 years of experience?!

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...

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

Chinese ü is like the French u.

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! :-))
