Hi Benny,

I love your Chinese learning site, and I have one suggestion to help make it better. One thing I would love to see is a section focusing on pronunciation. I’m finding it very difficult to pronounce some of the pinyin because I don’t know the correct places of articulation (ie, I don’t know where my tongue should be placed in my mouth). For example, with ‘j’ sounds I only learned recently that the tip of my tongue should be placed behind my top-front teeth (the English way to pronounce ‘j’ is very different from this). I’m frustrated because a lot of Chinese learning sites don’t teach this, meaning that a lot of beginners learning the language end up developing a very poor accent. It would be VERY helpful if some sort of chart was developed showing the different between ‘sh’, ‘ch’, ‘zh’, ‘r’, ‘d’, ‘j’, etc… You would have the best site by far if you did this!!!
