Work on one contrast
- Select two syllables you confuse in a lesson. Listen before repeating.
- Pause, repeat once, and compare. Do not assume pinyin letters use English sound values.
- Note whether the difficulty is the initial, final or tone. Ask a teacher about those specific words.
If the audio will not play, note the syllable or question and come back to the recording later. Use a comfortable voice and stop if practice feels strained.
