    谢谢你！
    i’ve been going through crazy trouble with that… i have a question though, how do you type “nu” with the two dots on the u?

    Hi Donna,

    Good news and bad news with that. Good news: to type nü, type alt+u then u. Bad news: I haven’t found a way to do tone marks on the ü (I generally do nˇü – n + (alt+v+space) + (alt+u+u)

    As an update to my comment about being able to type tone marks on ü:

    with the Extended US keyboard you use v as well to create the pīnyīn tone marks on ü. To create a ü you type alt+u+u, but to create ü with tone marks you do:

    alt+a+v = ǖ
    alt+e+v = ǘ
    alt+v+v = ǚ
    alt+`+v = ǜ

    Hi again.

    Thanks a lot. This is another great tutorial.

    I have another question (I hope I’m not bothering you too much);
    How do you do to film your screen to make these tutorials?

    I’ll read your blog, it looks very interesting.
    Thanks again and good luck!

    I use a program called snapzpro (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/) + imovie, Snapz is a bit expensive, but a nice application.

    If you “act soon” you can get it as part of a bundle of software on macheist: http://www.macheist.com/
