The importance of Learning Pinyin

If you want to learn Chinese well, one of the most important and crucial steps is to learn Pinyin.

Pinyin is the foundation for recognising and reading Chinese characters, the cornerstone of learning Chinese. It is a tool for reading and writing. Learning Pinyin well is a stepping stone for children to start learning Chinese.

After learning Chinese Pinyin, students will be able to recognise and read unfamiliar characters, mark pronunciation and replace Chinese characters that students cannot write. Learning Pinyin well is a necessary skill in improving the speed of taking notes, looking up dictionaries, and also systematically learning the meaning of Chinese characters. When you master the rules of Pinyin, your Chinese proficiency will improve as you continue practising.
