Chinese pronunciation can be challenging, particularly for a speaker of Indo-European languages. However, it is not as hard as it may seem. By mastering only a few principles, the English speaker will be able to make herself understood in Chinese with relative ease. For starters, we'll describe the phonetization system used in this
book, namely, 拼音 (pinyin). In the body of the book, you will find some Roman alphabet letters below each Chinese character. Those letters are a pronunciation guide for people unacquainted with the pronunciation of Chinese characters (these include Chinese elementary and high-school students), and are therefore called 拼音 (phonetization). The 拼音 system was developed in China mostly for its own use, and therefore the phonetic value of some of the Roman letters is not the same as its value when transcribing English.
The basic unit of the 拼音 system is the syllable. A syllable, for the purposes of this book, looks like a cluster of Roman letters and a diacritic sign. A cluster is separated from every other cluster by spaces.
A syllable is composed of four parts: a consonantic head, a vocalic nucleus, a consonantic ending, and a tone. Let's talk about these in a little more detail.
Consonantic heads are what we would call consonants. They can´t be part of a syllable by themselves, and they are at the beginning (the head) of the syllable. The Chinese language has 23 of these consonantic heads. Some are pronounced the same way they are pronounced in English, namely, m, n, j, l, s, and w, y, when they begin a word ("world", "young").
