New Word

Imagine you found a new character, which you do not know how to say it. 

What you should then do is to find characters with similar pronunciation i.e. those which rhymes with the sound of this character and saying them together. 

Let us take an example like 罅 and practice with those characters which you are familiar and rhymes with lê as shown below.

lê1 [sounds like lay]

to drop and break

shuai1

lê1 diao7 ke3

罅掉去

been dropped or broken

shuai1huai4 le5

摔壞了|摔坏了

bê5

cê1

dê5

gê1

hê5

pê6

  I hope this will help you in speaking Teochew well.
