About this material

Most courses spend one rushed lesson on pinyin and then spend the next two years paying for it. This pack is the two-week opening I teach instead: 64 slides that take a class from their first vowel to writing dictation, with the sounds that actually cause trouble given real drilling time rather than a single mention.

That means a full sequence on z c s versus zh ch sh, another on j q x, a proper treatment of the half third tone, and a tone sandhi kit for 不 and 一 that students can apply the same day. Mouth-shape photos sit beside each sound, so learners can see what to do rather than guess from a transcription.

Built to work as a standalone bootcamp or as the first fortnight of any beginner course. Editable PPTX and Keynote plus a print-ready PDF, including the minimal-pair bingo cards and the classroom wall chart. If you teach beginners at all, this is the file I would buy first.
