How to pronounce 哳

MandarinBanana teaches pronunciation with the Marilyn Method: every Pinyin syllable is one initial plus one final, the initial becomes a person, an animal or a deity, and the final becomes a place in your memory palace — with the tone deciding which part of that place the scene happens in. Remember the little story below for each half and the whole syllable comes back with them.

zhā

= zh initial

Zh is for James II of England (詹姆斯二世, zhānmǔsī èrshì).
