How to screw up pinyin

 


The Westerners have screwed up phonics by teaching kids’ letters with extraneous sounds.

Can anyone screw up Pinyin? Here is one girl who has screwed it up and I am afraid more will follow her.This girl is all over social media, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Face Book and I don't know where else.

I happened to see her YouTube video on 15.6.24 and made the following comment:


Thank you for this video, teacher. Many teachers teaching English teach phonics. This is the first video where I hear Pinyin pronounced similar to phonics. Does anyone else in China teach this way, please? Do schools use this as a method to teach Pinyin?

Today, I saw a reply from one American guy as follows:

@ron_grimes

@LuqmanMichel No one came here for your "expertise". It's really low-class to come to someone else's channel and put them down.

I don’t understand why he even made the above comment. Could he be the one who has taught her to teach this way?

The Westerners will find any way whatsoever to do anything they can against the Chinese.

The teacher herself has not responded to my comment. This video is detrimental to anyone wanting to learn Pinyin.

Where did this girl come up with the following from?

At minute 3.08 she says mo (mwo) en men.

At minute 3.25 it is ne yi for ni?

At minute 3.39 te ah for ta?

At minute 5.49 ne ah for na?

At minute 9.10 le yi ang for liang?

The above is enough to show that this girl does not know what Pinyin is and how to teach it.

There are about 600 syllables and all one has to do is learn them as one syllable each.

Here is something this guy  @ron_grimes commented on YouTube today 22.6.24:

Ron Grimes replied: "Luqman Michel No, you didn't ask a question. Where in "She does not reply questions asked. She is wrong in teaching Pinyin the way she does." does a question exist? You don't even understand an Eng..."

This will be my response: 
 
 I don't know who or what this guy is but anyone looking at my comment will see 2 questions. 
'Does anyone else in China teach this way, please? Do schools use this as a method to teach Pinyin?'

I reported this matter to YouTube and this was their response:

Thanks for reporting

For details you may refer to my post at https://luqmanchineselearning.blogspot.com/2024/06/how-to-screw-up-pinyin.html I look forward to your reply. The time span selected is not correct.

Pinyin is a must for accurate pronunciation.

Here is a paragraph from a HSK 5 lesson I have started reading. Anyone, who has learned Pinyin will be able to read anything written in Pinyin as well as any other person.  Now, I read Pinyin more fluently than Yale translation but if I read Yale translation for a week I should also be able to read fluently using Yale translation. Below this script I have recorded myself reading the passage. As I mentioned, anyone can read in Pinyin. There were 3 unfamiliar characters which I have now learned with the help of Pinyin. I can read all the Chinese characters but not as fluently as I can using Pinyin.  I urge all Indians and Malays to get their children to self study Mandarin with the help of hundreds of free lessons available on the internet.

Are tones in Mandarin important

Image
  At the onset I want to say that I want to learn to speak Mandarin the way it is intended to be spoken. I want to learn to speak it with the correct tones. Recently, I joined a number of groups on Face Book that are for sharing experiences learning Chinese. In most of the groups the beginners as well as intermediate learners complain about tones being the most difficult to learn in Mandarin. Just like many other matters people just say what others have said. Anyway, are tones as important as they are made to be?
