Pronouncing ü sound.


Jeremy Andrews

Recommended Posts

All right, I decided to try nü first, since I know a few words in Chinese that use that sound. After that, I'll try some of the more complicated ones.

nu1.wma

Does this sound okay?

EDIT: I'm sorry, I seem to have double-posted. I normally delete my second post when that happens, but I don't know how to do that on this site.

It certainly sounds different enough from 'nu' that your 'nü' seems acceptable to me. It might be a good idea to do your recordings with all four tones on each syllable that you're practising, as sometimes focusing on tones can muck up the rest of the pronunciation and thus needs more practice.

As a matter of fact, my Chinese book's first tone practice uses this syllable to teach me the tones. It says not to proceed until I can produce this sound correctly in all four tones. That's why I've been trying so hard to learn this.

So, here's my first attempt to do so:

Umtone1.wma
