    It's worth pointing out that the pinyin system of romanisation is not English, and can't be pronounced as English. It uses the same latin letters as English but you have to learn it separately.

    That said, a 'd' in pinyin is pronounced as for 'd' in English. You might be thinking of other romanisation systems such as Wade-Giles, where 'dian' (pinyin) would be written 'tien'. Stick to pinyin though. It's a great system and thoroughly supported with learning material.

    Also remember there's no such thing as 'Chinese'.

    Mandarin is spoken mainly in mainland China and Taiwan, with Cantonese being used mostly in Hong Kong.

    People who can understand only either Mandarin or Cantonese can communicate with each other by writing because they use the same written characters with a few exceptions.

    Most recommend learning Mandarin.
