Not a Halloween-specific feature of Chinese 😅—just a spectrogram showing sound energy across frequencies over time, including the pitch patterns of the four tones. Though I admit, it does look like a ghost! 👻 Practice your Pinyin tones here: pinyinexplorer.com/sbmini/

Happy studying everyone! Stay strong, don't give up! Chinese is super hard to learn, but you can do it 😄🚀

1.2+ million impressions on my posts in the past month, and I’m still waiting for someone to actually use Pīnyīn Explorer and share their experience. 😅 Who's up for studying Chinese together?

I made what I believe to be the world's best Mandarin tone practice app for MacOS, completely free 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 2,000+ Pinyin words, native audio, extensive sorting and filtering options. No payment required—just download it and start drilling! 👉 (macOS) Pinyin A-Z Soundboard

Here's the smaller grid table (same same but different): pinyinexplorer.com/exercises…

Here's the link to the full tables: pinyinexplorer.com/exercises…

I've added a graded reader to the reading list on the Pinyin Explorer website… tongue in cheek! 🤣 pinyinexplorer.com/exercises…

I've cleaned up & updated the Exercises page! It now has two sections for 1. Pinyin pronunciation drills and 2. reading-aloud exercises. I've also added a classic text with clear audio for Mandarin listening and reading practice. Give it a try! 😄 pinyinexplorer.com/exercises…

Nice story. Still don't know what it means. You could have used your time better: THE MOST COMMON MEANING OF "MÀN" IS "SLOW". But if you study with Hanzi, you first have to learn that there's 13 different characters reading "màn", and only the most common (慢) means "slow". 🥱

Hey girls and boys, quick question! 😂 Every day I get lots of comments that have nothing to do with the actual Pīnyīn Explorer method…… just the same recycled nonsense delivered with absolute confidence. What should I do with these intellectual masterpieces?

Flipping through my Chinese learning notebooks from earlier this year is fun 😁 Only 外国朋友们 can understand this secret way of writing #chineselearning #hsk #mandarin

I would like to formally apologize to Chinese calligraphers everywhere 😅👇

Pinyin transcribed by Gemini, and then fix common spelling mistakes with my simple search-replace script (free on Github), this pipeline actually produces quite readable Pinyin!

I've just noticed that you can drop Pinyin directly into Google Translate, very convenient! You can use Peekaboo Reader for reading and transcribing Hanzi to Pinyin, and then just drop whatever part you have difficulties with into Google for whole text translation. Nice!
