Chinese has a history of thousands of years. But Pinyin doesn’t. It tells people how to pronounce Chinese characters. This year , Pinyin turns 63 years old .
In 1958, Chinese linguist (语言学家)Zhou Youguang and his team created Pinyin. Before that, Chinese people used many other ways to show how to pronounce Chinese characters. But these ways were not as easy to use as Pinyin. Because of Pinyin, more people learnt how to read.
Pinyin is a big part of our daily life. We learn to speak Putonghua with the help of Pinyin. We write Chinese characters on computers by using Pinyin.
Pinyin is young. But it is now very popular outside China. It is becoming a bridge between China and the world. Many people around the world start to learn Chinese by using Pinyin. You might say “nihao” to mean “hello” to a foreign friend.
People are using Pinyin more often than often. For example, fewer foreigners use “dumplings”, They like to use “jiaozi” . And “mantou” is for “steamed bun”. The Oxford English Dictionary 《牛津英语词典》has more than 100 words in Pinyin , such as “zhongguomeng” for “Chinese dream” , and “wanggou” for “online shopping” .

How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English It seems there is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language.
“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things in a catchy and meaningful way,” said Dr. Karen Ludke writes, “A listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”
Many language teachers know the value of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington, D.C., depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids, usually we use music. Not only does it works, but it is fun for kids.”
“Sometimes, I think if I were taught English in that way, maybe I could speak much better English than now,” Huaying adds.
Our brain likes music, especially for remembering. So, if you’re still struggling in learning a language, why not try singing it out
