Pinyin
Pinyin chart
Every common syllable, four tones, and a real character to hear.
Pinyin is the romanization of Mandarin. A syllable has an initial, a final and a tone. The same syllable in a different tone is a different word — so learn the tone together with the character.
Audio plays an example character, not the isolated syllable, so the tone sounds natural.
