Watch and listen as Jessica introduces the Chinese "alphabet":
Using the romanized alphabet, Pīnyīn, the romanized writing of Mandarin Chinese speaking, is a roadmap for how to pronounce Mandarin Chinese and the tones. The four little lines above the vowels in Pīnyīn represent the four Chinese tones.

The tones are essential to being understood in Mandarin and understanding the speaking of others in Mandarin. In this video, Teacher Jessica gives an introduction to the four Mandarin tones and how they are read in pinyin.
