pinyin pronunciation resources (bc i make a lot of danmei-origin podfic)
i took a semester of mandarin chinese in community college forever ago and this is something i found that is catchy and quirky and funny and memorable. it's part 1 of a 4 video playlist. actually really helpful if you pay attention to the shape of the mouse's mouth. the grouped consonants all have the same mouth shape with sequentially further back positioning of the tip of the tongue on the roof of your mouth fyi
this is a pinyin guide by user @pumpkinpaix and it has an accompanying transcript with tone markers and embedded audio!
