Learning Hanyu Pinyin

[sembgal]

Wonder if anyone can help me on this. I need my child to recite a passage （般米）. Here goes the first sentence. 一只蚂蚁在般(ban)米，but my child recited as 一只蚂蚁在帮(bang) 米。How to correct this 汉语拼音tone of ban and not bang?

The 'n' sound and the 'ng' sounds are very distinct and your child must learn to recognise and produce them both. The tone is the same (both first tone). To make the 'n' sound, the tongue should be touching the upper palate behind the upper front teeth. Hope this helps.

搬米， not 般米 （ban)

you can give him/her a word, eg. (帮助，搬家）

用词语来分辨，会容易分清发音，而且小孩容易记忆，可以试试看。

Yes, good to have. I'm using A-Star Han Yu Pin Yin Magic Vol 1and 2 CD rom for my child's HYPY too.

I bought them through my child's school. I remembered it was sold at a discount from usual selling price outside.

Perhaps you can enquire through your child's school and see if the principal/teachers willing to negotiate with the supplier for a good discount if bought in bulk through school orders.

This is annoying. The Berries teacher commented my DS's hypy still need to 加强. Seriously I am reluctant to spend more time on this area because he is doing the P1/P2 assessment books fine and I do not see a need to reinforce. So is either Berries standard is higher or the assessment books my DS does is simple? :?


Nevertheless, I will talk to his teacher and find out how can I help him. At the same time, I will include daily 5-10 mins revision through ipad app. :roll:
