You put consonants together with vowels and then add tones to form pinyin

8. How is üan written in pinyin when it combines with the consonant 'y'? Why?

It’s written as yuan and that’s just how it is ^,^

9. What do you like about this course?

I really like how simplified it is. Like, I searched up pinyin on Wikipedia and WOW was I ever lost! Everything in there confused the heck out of me and my mind just blanked out what I was reading OTL I also really like how you don’t have exact due dates and you don’t get mad at people who can’t finish in time hehe ^,^

PLEASE SELECT THE BEST CHOICE

10. What is your teacher's name? What is your teacher's assistant's name?

Answer: C of course, Yuna and Mini!

 

Side note: I commented on the assignment post saying I wouldn't finish until Wednesday or Thursday since my computer crashed, but I powered through it! I was actually a little nervous when I was first writing the assignment... I didn't fully understand pinyin yet but when I went over the notes again (four or five times OTL) I finally understood everything! It took me awhile but I finished YAY! Anyways I'm sorry for inconveniencing you ^^;

Keke, great job for doing your first assignment! Thank you for your nice comment on #9! I'm glad that this course can help you:) And don't worry about the turning in thing! And it was inconvenient at all! Yep^^ Reread will definitely help :D

Now, I'll just point out a little mistake.
For #3. weǐ is supposed to be wěi. The accent mark goes on the "e".

Congrats! You've earned 10 points!
