To me, the most superior type of plaything is a novel mental trick which outranks any fresh electronic device. Currently, my play item takes form as an approach to recollecting how Chinese characters are pronounced – self-made and one that I am proud of. It could potentially surpass even my irresistible nacho recipe in terms of impact on civilization.

The issue of recalling how to write Chinese characters has received significant scrutiny, as evidenced by my review of Heisig and Richardson’s book. Conversely, the task of retaining knowledge on proper character pronunciation has been overlooked like a dutiful sibling. However, mastering accurate pronunciations is anything but simple – particularly due to Mandarin Chinese utilizing unique sound differentials absent in English; tone variation being an obvious example.

Most memory systems only link two concepts to represent the pronunciation of Chinese characters, including tone. My system does this too and can be a perfect companion if you’re using Heisig or something similar to remember how to write characters. It is also useful for memorizing spoken Mandarin words even if writing isn’t your priority (though I wouldn’t recommend it). Investing time in memorizing basic correspondences will pay off quickly – within days in my case. Check out this post for a complete method description and learn about Mandarin phonology as well!

It’s possible thanks to the Chinese principle of “one character equals one syllable” and the constrained sound system, which allows for a modest table listing all Mandarin syllables. My method is similar but modified, using influences from the “Bopomofo” system that represents every conceivable Chinese syllable with symbols drawn from an alphabet of 37 characters. Instead of displaying exotic-looking icons here, I’ll use their equivalent pinyin notation.

21 out of the 37 symbols can appear only at the beginning of a syllable:

b-, p-, m-, f-, d-, t-, n-, l-, g-, k-, h-, j-, q-, x-, zh-, ch-, sh-, r-, z-, c-, s-

Another 12 can appear only at the end of a syllable:

-a, -o, -e, -ê, -ai, -ei, -ao, -ou, -an, -(e)n, -ang, -(e)ng

(…although certain syllables in both cases consist of a single symbol such as s [“si” in Pinyin] or ai, so that the beginning of the syllable is also the end.)

Three more symbols, representing -i-, -u-, or -ü-, can appear at the beginning, middle, or end. The -i- and -u- sound essentially like they would in Spanish, whereas -ü- sounds like a French “u” or a German “ü”.

Examples:

zh+ang = zhang in Pinyin
u + ang = wang in Pinyin
zh + u + ang = zhuang in Pinyin
zh + (e)n = zhen in Pinyin
i = yi in Pinyin
j + i + (e)n = jin in Pinyin

If you’ve been attentive, it should have become apparent that I’ve listed only 36 of the symbols. The final symbol representing “er” stands alone and represents a separate syllable without combining with any other symbol.

In Mandarin, syllables are constructed using a finite set of combinations. This contrasts with the complex nature of English syllables which can contain multiple sounds such as in “strength”, “boxed” or “splashed”. It is difficult to compile an exhaustive list of English syllable patterns.

The Fundamental Method.

To start the process, create a mental image of an actual or imaginary person to represent each initial symbol. These representatives will be referred to as “personages.” I have provided some suggested assignments, but feel free to choose your own preferences:

Babe (Ruth) for b-
Peter (Pan) for p-
Mark (Twain) for m-
Frazier (Crane) for f-
Darth (Vader) for d-
Tarzan for t-
Noriyuki (Morita) for n-
Leonardo (da Vinci) for l-
Groucho (Marx) for g-
Karl (Marx) for k-
Herman (Munster) for h-
George (Washington) for zh-
Charlie (Chaplin) for ch-
Sherlock (Holmes) for sh-
Ringo (Starr) for r-
Zach (Galafianakis) for z-
(Christopher) Columbus for c-
Sam (Spade) for s-

I tried to pick these to be as visually distinctive as possible. I put the last names in parentheses because I recommend you get on a first-name basis with your personages. You’ll be spending a lot of time with them. Notice everyone on the list is male; also I left out j-, q-, and x-. The reasons for this will become apparent in due time. The names are a clue to the associated sound: Babe for b-, Groucho for g-, and so on. This “clue” will actually be important only in the early stages of use—eventually (pretty soon, really) you will learn the correspondences by heart anyway.

We also need to introduce a new “null” initial symbol, which I will denote Ø-. So, for example (b- + -ao) gives you bao but (Ø- + -ao) gives you plain ao. This null symbol also gets an associated individual:

Ø- Albert (Einstein)

We might as well go ahead and introduce the “null” final symbol, denoted –Ø. So (s- + -ao) gives you sao but (s- + –Ø) gives you plain s (which is, however, written “si” in Pinyin).

(Now I have to interrupt myself to emphasize an important point: the “i” in Pinyin “si” is nothing like the “i” in “yi” or “ji”. “Si” is pronounced more like “sz” than English “sea”. Same for “zhi”, “chi”, “shi”, “ri”, “ci”, “zi”. If you don’t understand this point then go back and ask your Chinese teacher about it, because it will wreak havoc with your Chinese pronunciation. The Pinyin symbol “si” is written with just the “s-“ symbol in Bopomofo. To help keep this point in mind, I’m going to use parentheses to write it like this: “s(i)”, “zh(i)”, etc.)

Now the do-it-yourself part: for each of the twelve final symbols -a, -o, -e, -ai, -ei, -ao, -ou, -an, -(e)n, -ang, -(e)ng, and  –Ø, choose a familiar place—a house, a restaurant, or a hotel. You will have to exert the modest effort to remember which places go with which symbols. I can’t do this part for you because they need to be places familiar to you. (This is a point about the “memory palace” that many people seem to miss.) But for the sake of explanation we’re going to pretend with a few examples:

–Ø your own house
-a the Plaza hotel in New York City
-e Maxim’s restaurant in Paris
and so on….

(We lump -e and -ê together because these just happen never to appear in the same situation.) Now each syllable can be visualized as an image of a particular personage in a particular place. For example:

ba = b- + -a = Babe Ruth at the Plaza Hotel.
zha = zh- + -a = George Washington at the Plaza Hotel.
zh(i) = zh- + –Ø = George Washington at your house.
zhe = zh- + -e = George Washington at Maxim’s.
ta = t- + -a = Tarzan at the Plaza Hotel.
a = –Ø + a = Albert Einstein at the Plaza Hotel.

We can summarize all the combinations (so far) of initials and finals in a table:
