Hola chicos,
I am not Chinese. I am Spanish, but I am learning your beautiful but a bit dificult language. Actually it is not so difficult. The only problem is that we don't live enough time to learn it properly. Je, je, ....
Then, I understand your problems when you learn Spanish. We can say that they are "complementary" of mine.
A cople of more key letters for Chinese people:
"h" has no sound in Spanish. You just have to pronounce the following vowel as if the "h" doesn't exist. Not normal, maybe, but real. It has no sound at all.
"J" has a very strong sound. Nothing to do with the sound in English. Like the "h" in English, but much stronger. Like tipical sound of German people in films. Of course, not in real live.
"P" and "Tom" in Spanish are no aspirated. As in Chinese pinyin "b" and "d"
Next tomorrow. Je, je, ... It is too late.
Hasta luego.
