1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Standard Chinese a modular approach, resource module on pronunciation and romanization, Tape 4.

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
This tape introduces the sounds and spellings of three new consonants and two new vowels.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
On the last tape we took up three pairs of affricate consonants.

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000
You can see them in the first two columns of display 1.

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Now we're going to take up three fricative consonants,

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,000
i.e.continent sounds which consist entirely of friction like s.

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
They're in the third column of display 1.

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Notice that they line up with three tongue positions you learned for the affricates.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Retroflicks with the tongue in the R position,

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Palatal with the tongue in the E position,

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:46,000
and dental with the tongue in the S position.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Listen to the speaker read across the rows of display 1.

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
張,唱,上,

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
江,牆,香,

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
藏,藏,藏.

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Now listen to the speaker read down the columns of display 1.

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
張,江,藏,

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000
唱,牆,

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,000
藏,上,香,藏.

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Listen to the surnames in the third column again.

21
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
The ones with the fricative sounds we're going to work on.

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
上,香,藏.

23
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Again.

24
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
上,香,藏.

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
The first of these fricative sounds,

26
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
the one spelled SH,

27
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
is rather like our SH sound,

28
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,000
except that the tongue is curled back in the R position.

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Listen.

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,000
上,上,上.

31
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Try repeating it.

32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:08,000
上,上,上.

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
It's worth noticing that all three retroflex consonants here

34
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
are spelled with an H.

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
ZH,CH, and SH.

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Try repeating the first row names after the speaker,

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000
getting your tongue in the R position for each.

38
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:29,000
張,唱,上.

39
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Again.

40
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:39,000
張,唱,上.

41
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Now let's move on to the second new consonant.

42
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
The fricative is spelled with an X.

43
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Don't be thrown off by the X.

44
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Ears will tell you that it's something like our SH sound again.

45
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
It's not quite the same of course.

46
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
The tongue is held in a tight E position.

47
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Listen.

48
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000
上,上,上.

49
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Try repeating it,

50
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000
spreading your lips wide in a tight grin as you start the syllable.

51
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,000
上,上,上.

52
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
It's worth noticing that all three palette of consonants here

53
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,000
come before the semivall spelled I.

54
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
In other words,their tongue position anticipates

55
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
the tongue position of the semivall.

56
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Try repeating the second row names after the speaker,

57
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
getting your tongue into the E position and grinning.

58
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,000
張,唱,上.

59
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Again.

60
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:47,000
張,唱,上.

61
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Now try repeating the first two names

62
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
in the third column after the speaker.

63
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
You'll have to shift gears

64
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
from retroflex to palatal tongue positions.

65
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Here we go.

66
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000
上,上.

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Again.

68
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
上,上.

69
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Now try repeating them in the other order.

70
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
E position, R position.

71
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
上,上.

72
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Again.

73
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
上,上.

74
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Before we go any further,let's run a quick check

75
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
on whether you can hear the difference between

76
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
the retroflex fricative spelled SH

77
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000
and the palatal fricative spelled X.

78
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
Circle the appropriate romanization

79
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
for each name in exercise 1.

80
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Repeating as you do so.

81
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
1,上.

82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Retroflex.

83
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
2,上.

84
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Palatal.

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,000
3,上.

86
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Palatal.

87
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000
4,上.

88
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Palatal.

89
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,000
5,上.

90
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Retroflex.

91
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
6,上.

92
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Retroflex.

93
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,000
7,上.

94
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Palatal.

95
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000
8,上.

96
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Retroflex.

97
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:23,000
9,上.

98
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Palatal.

99
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
10,上.

100
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Retroflex.

101
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
The last name in the third column of display 1

102
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
starts with an honest S.

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
You may notice that Chinese S

104
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
is slightly stronger than English S.

105
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Listen.

106
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,000
上,上,上.

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Try repeating it.

108
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:55,000
上,上,上.

109
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Now try repeating the names across the bottom row.

110
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:07,000
上,上,上.

111
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Again.

112
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:17,000
上,上,上.

113
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Now try repeating the names down the third column.

114
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Shifting gears appropriately.

115
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:30,000
上,上,上.

116
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Again.

117
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:39,000
上,上,上.

118
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Let's make sure you can tell the three names apart.

119
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Circle the appropriate Romanization

120
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
for each name in exercise 2.

121
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Repeating as you do so.

122
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000
上,上,上.

123
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Retroflex.

124
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
2,上.

125
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Palatal.

126
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000
3,上.

127
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Dental.

128
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000
4,上.

129
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Palatal.

130
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,000
5,上.

131
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Dental.

132
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000
6,上.

133
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Retroflex.

134
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000
7,上.

135
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Dental.

136
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,000
8,上.

137
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Retroflex.

138
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:33,000
9,上.

139
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Dental.

140
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
10,上.

141
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Palatal.

142
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Now try reading the surnames in exercise 3

143
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
and repeat.

144
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:50,000
1,上.

145
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000
2,向.

146
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,000
3,上.

147
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000
4,梳.

148
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,000
5,梳.

149
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
6,心.

150
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:20,000
7,梳.

151
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,000
8,小.

152
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,000
9,送.

153
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,000
10,下.

154
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,000
11,梳.

155
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,000
12,神.

156
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Exercise 4 is the same,

157
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
but with the 6 Africans mixed in with the 3 Frickitas.

158
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Read and repeat.

159
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,000
1,朝.

160
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,000

161
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
3,朝.

162
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,000
4,少.

163
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000
5,瞧.

164
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000
6,交.

165
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,000
7,朝.

166
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,000
8,梳.

167
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000
9,左.

168
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:46,000
10,菜.

169
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:52,000
11,出.

170
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,000
12,心.

171
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:03,000
13,臟.

172
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,000
14,除.

173
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000
15,金.

174
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,000
16,送.

175
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000
17,交.

176
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:29,000
18,琴.

177
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:39,000
19,琴.

178
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,000

179
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,000

180
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,000

181
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:59,000

182
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,000

183
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
19,琴.

184
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,000

185
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,000

186
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000

191
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
19,琴.

192
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000
19,琴.

193
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,000
19,琴.

194
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,000

195
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,000
19,琴.

196
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,000
19,琴.

197
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:17,000
19,琴.

198
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:21,000
19,琴.

199
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,000
19,琴.

200
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,000
19,琴.

201
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,000
19,琴.

202
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,000
19,琴.

203
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,000
19,琴.

204
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000
19,琴.

205
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000
19,琴.

206
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,000
19,琴.

207
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,000
19,琴.

208
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,000
19,琴.

209
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,000
19,琴.

210
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000
19,琴.

211
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,000
19,琴.

212
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:29,000
19,琴.

213
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000
19,琴.

214
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
19,琴.

215
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:44,000
19,琴.

216
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000
19,琴.

217
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:41,000
9,7,10,4,11,7,12,10.

218
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,000
You already know that one of these vowels written with an i can occur by itself.

219
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,000
It's written yi, but you can't always hear the y as a separate sound.

220
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,000
The prolonged r sound can also occur by itself. It's written ri.

221
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,000
The r merely serving to signal the retroflex pronunciation, not standing for a separate sound.

222
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Display 3 consists of one word, the word for Japan.

223
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Listen for the first syllable, which is nothing but the prolonged r sound.

224
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:18,000
日本,日本,日本.

225
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Try repeating it.

226
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:29,000
日本,日本,日本.

227
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:34,000
The third vowel sound written i, the one in 次, is never pronounced alone,

228
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,000
but always follows a dental affricate or fricative, z, c, or s.

229
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Exercise 6 is another read and repeat exercise with the same three sound values for the letter i.

230
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,000
But it's considerably harder than exercise 5 because it isn't restricted to the fricatives s, h, x, and s.

231
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,000
You have to decide for each consonant whether it is pronounced with the tongue in the r position,

232
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,000
in which case the vowel is r, whether it is in the s position, in which case the vowel is r,

233
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:06,000
or whether it is neither, in which case the vowel is e.

234
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,000
You've just learned that the letter i stands for the sound e after affricate or fricative consonants

235
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,000
pronounced in the e position,namely j, c, and x.

236
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:23,000
But remember that you've known for some time that i also stands for e after consonants such as l, m, n, d, and t,

237
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,000
which are neither affricate nor fricative.

238
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:33,000
In other words,the first value you learned for the letter i,the sound e, is the basic value.

239
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,000
The values after the r position consonants and the s position consonants are exceptions.

240
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,000
By the way,in exercise 6 we use two fake surnames,which we mark with asterisks.

241
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,000
There are such syllables in the language,and they just might be used as abbreviations of foreign surnames.

242
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Now,read and repeat the names in exercise 6.

243
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:22,000

246
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:47,000

247
00:18:47,000 --> 00:19:02,000
痴 24 痴 25 米

248
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Exercise 7 is a dictation exercise,which mixes up the fricatives with the affricates.

249
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:32,000
Fill in the blanks and repeat as you do so.
