Hi poppy15,

it depends on how one define weak. For me, if a child

1) can't differentiate eg \"b\" and \"p\",\"d\" and \"t\", \"n\" and \"l\" etc.

2) can't determine the \"声调sheng diao\" without help

3) can't decide where to put the \"sheng diao\"

4) not familiar with the hanyupinyin rule

then he/she is consider weak in it.

This is what I personally think. Maybe other parents with child who are weak in hanyupinyin can share their view.


Snowcloud, the SAP HYPY guide that you listed above, does it teach the 4 problems you listed? Thanks for sharing this.[/quote]Hi Jenao,

I would say this book is very systematic in it's approach towards teaching hanyupinyin. If you follow the book closely to teach your child, the above mentioned problem should be solved. However, some kids still can.t differentiate \"b\" and \" p\" etc though he/she had been taught. When this happen, we need to use some way to help them to tell the difference.eg You can try asking your child to put his/her hand in front of the mouth and pronounce \"b\" and tell him \"you don't feel much air coming out of his mouth. Then try saying \"p\" with the hand still in front of his mouth, he should feel there is much air coming out of his mouth. Initially, he needs this method to help him decide whether it should be \" b\" or \" p\" but after sometimes, he should be able to do so without help.

Sorry, my command of English language is not good. Hope you can understand what I am trying to explain here. hope your child find it useful.

Thought this is quite useful... if you find it easier to explain in English...

Where do the tone marks go?
•A and e trump all other vowels and always take the tone mark. There are no Mandarin syllables in Hanyu Pinyin that contain both a and e.
•In the combination ou, o takes the mark.
•In all other cases, the final vowel takes the mark.

有 a 不放过；
没 a 找 o、e；
i、u 并列标在后；
单个韵母不必说。
