<!-- (Audio) Wang Hua: q, qi, qu, qī, qí, qǐ, qì -->

--description--

To pronounce q, press the front of your tongue firmly against your hard palate, then release the air with a quick, forceful burst.

When q combines with the finals i, and ü, you get the syllables: qi and qu. Note that ü is written as u after q.

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

PinyinCharacter

--assignment--
