Pinyin is one of the more popular modern methods of Romanizing Chinese words. Most pronunciation is \'normal\' except the following:
c pronounced like ts
q like ch x like sh
zh like j.
This short intro doesn\'t really do the topic justice; however, look at some of the linked Scribbles to find related audio resources. Or search google for \"pronunciation\".
By the way, it\'s pronunciation not pronounciation. I received a few web hits when this page was using the incorrect spelling.
