Hello Loin, 'Pinyin' is a Romanization system using English letters to write equivalent Chinese Characters and make them easier to read and pronounce for foreigners. Check this site to have an idea about how to pronounce the pinyin romanized letters: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Chinese_(Mandarin)/Pinyin_Pronunciation There are 4 or 5 tones ( the fifth being a neutral one) to discriminate the pronunciation of many Chinese characters written the same in English letters ,but differ in their intonation. Example: The word "qian" written in English letters will differ in pronunciation and meaning, when their tone changes as follows: qian2 (second tone) It is equivalent characters is 前 It means front, forward, ahead,former or preceding. qian1 (first tone) The character is 千 and it means thousand, or a great amount (number) of. qian3 (third tone) It's character is 浅 and it means shallow, simple , easy ,superficial ,not intimate ... Note that "qian" in the first and second tones has also many other meanings,but I mentioned here only a meaning as an example of different tones. The same goes for many other Chinese pinyin words, where you have to differentiate their tones and correspondent characters giving different meanings. The following link will give you more information about the 4 tones supported by audio files, so that you can hear the difference : http://mandarin.about.com/od/pronunciation/a/tones.htm

There are no English letters. Pinyin is a Chinese script to romanize Mandarin using Latin letters. Since Mandarin has a only about 420 different syllables it's quite easy get used to them. A bit more difficult is that some sounds are very similar, i.e. 'zh', 'ch', 's', 'x' etc.
