To pronounce ch, place your tongue in the same curled-back position as for zh, with the tip lifted toward the hard palate. Build up a small amount of air pressure behind the tongue. Release the air with a noticeable burst, creating an aspirated sound that begins with a clear puff of air and then continues briefly with friction.

When ch combines with the finals a, e, and u, you get the syllables: cha, che, and chu.

Let’s practice pronouncing these syllables, and then use cha in different tones as an example.

Pinyin	Character
`chā`	`插`
`chá`	`茶`
`chǎ`	`叉`
