For learning Chinese and checking pronunciation! How to use the free text-to-speech service "Ondoku"

Hello, this is Ondoku.

Chinese is "ideographic" , so you can understand the meaning just by looking at the characters, but it is difficult to imagine the pronunciation.

In English, the pronunciation is represented by "phonetic characters" , so you can roughly imagine the pronunciation, but that is not the case in Chinese.

Moreover, Chinese and Japanese have the same kanji, but Chinese and Japanese have different pronunciations. In addition, Chinese has completely different meanings and words depending on intonation (four sounds).

When I hear it like this, I feel like it's a very difficult language...

However, Japanese people know kanji, so they can understand the meaning if only letters are exchanged.

Taking advantage of such advantages, Japanese people have an overwhelming advantage in learning Chinese compared to people from other countries .

That's why I want to master the pronunciation and talk to Chinese people in Chinese.

One thing that Japanese people tend to fall into is that when they have a conversation in Chinese , they say, "My Chinese pronunciation is so bad that I can't get the meaning across."

A site that reads Chinese aloud can help you overcome these problems!
