Chinese initials J, Q and X are only ever followed by either “ -i” (pronounced like “ee”) or by “-ü”. They are never combined with the finals “-a”, “-e”, “-o” or “-u/wu”. Ji, Qi, Xi and Ju, Qu, Xu are all with the exact same tongue position, yet they sound different from English "J", "Ch" and "Sh". When saying “Ji, Qi or Xi”, smile! Same tension as smiling when saying these three syllables. The tip of your tongue should be touching your bottom teeth. While saying these 3, the tongue should move due to air flow, but the mouth should not. The airflow for all of these should be fairly soft and smooth, but “xi” should be the softest and most sounding like a deflating tyre.
