Let's learn how to pronounce "X" in PinYin Hello ,my friends. I 'm a Chinese student , and today I want to talk sth about the pronounciation about Chinese PinYin "X". Actually , when I talked with some of my friends who are from foreigh countries, I always typed my Chinese last name "Xuan" to them. Most of them pronounced pinyin "X" into an English letter "X". To tell you the truth , the pronounciation of these are totally different . X in PinYin sounds like 西 , which means west in Chinese language. when you pronounce it , you should put your tongue on the inside of your lower teeth and don't open your mouth too big , the size is the same as when you pronounce "yes". I hope it can help some of you who don't know how to pronounce this word . ^ ^ practice : Xi Gua 西瓜 watermelon Xi fang 西方 western part Xi huan 喜欢 like Xi wang 希望 hope
