Ooh, I didn't know about the "e" thing, thanks. Which of those would you say the "e" sound at the 2:45 mark in this video is?
I knew about the "u" thing but had forgotten it needed mentioning! Mainly, I think, because 魚/yú was one of the first characters I learned, so I've internalised its pronunciation, and I don't think I have anything in my vocabulary yet that uses the pinyin ju, qu, or xu, so in my brain it's just how you pronounce "yu", and doesn't need thinking about. Which is a long-winded way of saying that I should probably edit a mention into the post, and have now done so :) I actually have a video on the pronunciation of "ü" in my bookmarks list, which I think demonstrates it pretty well.
