Special thanks for the nasals in particular. I have been finding that in many "natural speech" situations those endings are very, VERY nasalized, to the point where one only is hearing a nasalization as opposed to a genuine pronunciation of /n/ and /ng/. Now I'm getting a better sense of how they work with the related vowel i.e. not as a separate sound, but as an overlay. Much appreciated.
Sorry to interrupt this space. I teach Chinese in humorous way and with cute pictures. Each Chinese character pronounces one syllable, and each character has meanings. Chinese primary school pupils can easily learn 3000 characters, which cover 99 percent of Chinese characters in newspapers and books. Chinese is 30% faster than English in conveying information.
What I do is I watch a video in Mandarin and then try to spell what I hear in Pinyin to test my listening in Mandarin and reinforce my knowledge of Pinyin. I am on my 3rd day learning Mandarin.
