Before we talk about tones, we need to have an introduction to Chinese phonetics: the sounds of the language.  

Chinese Phonetics: Guiding Questions

What is pīn yīn ?

What are 3 essential parts of a syllable?

What are common initial sounds?  What are common final sounds?

Which are simple finals?  Which are compound?

Click HERE for a spoken version of the alphabet.

HERE: a video from YangYang that recaps some basic ideas about Chinese phonetics.

HERE: is an advanced chart of Chinese phonetics, including all possible sounds in this language.

HERE: advanced information on the rules of the Hanyu Pinyin system.


－－－


STROKE  ORDER

1. Top before bottom


2. Left before right


These rules conflict whenever one stroke is to the bottom and left of another. Several additional rules resolve many of these conflicts.

3. Left vertical stroke (usually) before top horizontal stroke


4. Bottom horizontal stroke last



5. Center stroke before wings



6. Horizontal strokes before intersecting vertical strokes


7. Left-falling strokes before right-falling srokes


A final rule can contradict the others:

8. Minor strokes (often) last
 

Despite these conflicts between rules most students quickly acquire a natural feel for the proper stroke order.

Radical Order  -  Most Chinese characters are combinations of simpler, radical components. 

Usually the two parts are written at top and bottom

or left and right

so that the main two stroke order rules readily apply. Occasionally these rules also conflict with respect to components. 

When one component is at the bottom-left, and the other at the top-right, the top-right component is sometimes written first.


When there are several components, top components are written first.


These rules usually imply each component is written in its entirety before another component is written. 

Exceptions may arise when one component divides another,

encompasses another,

or the individual components are no longer discernible in modern writing.

(source: www.zhongwen.com)

Remember! most online dictionaries offer stroke order animations, so check there when you're not sure how to write a character.

A）我们刚刚考完了。我请小李明天来跟我们一起吃晚饭。

B）好极了！那，我们应该做什么？

A）他喜欢吃肉。我们做一个红烧牛肉还有一个糖醋鱼。怎么样？

B）你吃素。我做一些素的饺子还有一个凉拌黄瓜。

A）好的。小李也喜欢吃素的饺子和凉拌黄瓜。


昨天是小王的生日。我请他吃饭。我们去中国饭馆。到饭馆的时候，一位客人都没有。服务员问我们想点什么菜？我点了一盘饺子。小王说他很饿也很渴。他点了一瓶可乐，一个豆腐菜，还有一个糖醋鱼。服务员请我们多点一盘。我们说已经够了。但是饺子都卖完了，鱼太酸了。服务员不但慢慢得上菜，而且找错了钱。那里的服务真不好。我们还是不回去吧。

糟糕！今天比昨天冷得多。我还是带新毛衣，喝热咖啡吧。还得告诉弟弟别出去玩吧。

我有三条裤子：有一条白的，一条黑的，还有一条咖啡色的。白色的是一百二十四块九毛九，比黑色的贵多了。黑色的比咖啡色的更新，可是对我有一点大。我想咖啡色的对我最合适。它不但好看，而且便宜。上个星期我穿那条，穿了三次。这个星期我又穿了三次。下个星期我还要把它穿三次。

我非常喜欢这个学校。它又大又漂亮。大家都说它和公园一样漂亮。冬天的时候，有很多学生来滑冰。天气预报说下星期会很冷，也会下雪。我希望下个周末能去滑冰。

周末的功课

这一次我们的活动跟以前有一点不一样。这一次我们要看一种电视节目，有十六个部分。A television series with 16 parts!  别担心，每一部也不到一分钟。一共，比要一个小时在学习。
