My name

  • My Chinese name is 程宇.

  • Pronunciation of "yu": audio file.
  • "Yu" is a vowel sound in Pinyin (ü) which does not exist in English. To pronounce it, start saying the English "ee" sound and slowly round your lips (as in "woo"). Your tongue should stay tense and remain in the same position.
