You now know how to pronounce all of the vowels and compound finals! You may go back and practice them as many times as you need before moving on to the next lesson. You don't need to memorize all of them at this point, but you should be pretty familiar with them. And remember, once you've learned how to pronounce all of the vowels, then you already know how to pronounce all of the compound finals. Because compound finals are simply vowels put together. In our next lesson we will be looking at "Initials." Initials form the beginning of Chinese words and consist of a consonant and a vowel. Click here to go on to the "Initials Lesson."
