Pinyin dissected
This page is not ordered alphabetically. It is updated progressively as I record the shadow practice series. When I see a new Pinyin that is not here, I will add it at the bottom.
I think the best way to utilize this page is to leverage the search function in the broswer. Press Contrl-F, then put in the Pinyin you want to learn, if there is a hit, then shadow it!!
