Hi All,I am prompted to start this thread after I realised quite a number of my new students are not pronouncing the following words right. According to them, this is how their school teacher taught them. Hence, I thought I can bring this up and you might want to ask your child for the pronounication to see if they got them right. It will be good to get them write down the hanyu pinyin. Fyi, these are part of P3 to P6 vocabulary words from their textbooks. Thanks. 星期天 xing(1) qi(1) tian(1)休息 xiu(1) xi本领 ben(3) ling(3)友谊 you(3) yi(4)一匹马 yi(4) pi(3) ma(3)商量shang(1) liang(2)/liang忍不住 ren(3) bu zhu(4)来不及 lai(2) bu ji(2)傍晚 bang(4) wan(3)差点儿 cha(4) dianr(3)着急 zhao(2) ji(2)\t兴奋 xing(1) fen(4)认识 ren(4) shi\t意思 yi(4) si教导 jiao(4) dao(3)显得 xian(3) de似的 shi(4) de来宾 lai(2) bin(1)提供 ti(2) gong(1)请教qing(3) jiao(4)唠叨 lao(2) dao空闲 kong(4) xian(2)气氛 qi(4) fen(1)塞住 sai(1) zhu几乎ji(1) hu(1)\t尽管 jin(3) guan(3)模糊 mo(2) hu奇迹 qi(2) ji(4)包括 bao(1) kuo(4)大概 da(4) gai(4)柜子 gui(4) zi委屈 wei(3) qu痕迹 hen(2) ji(4)使劲 shi(3) jin(4)\t关系 guan(1) xi(4)/xi的确 di(2) que(4)冤枉 yuan(1) wang\t扁担 bian(3) dan角色 jue(2) se(4)困难 kun(4) nan仍然 reng(2) ran(2)敏感 min(3) gan(3)允许 yun(3) xu(3)马虎 ma(3) hu佣人 yong(1) ren(2)规矩 gui(1) ju装模作样 zhuang(1) mu(2) zuo(4) yang(4)细菌xi(4) jun(1)
