  • Tone Combination practice is the best way for practice to get better at tones in Mandarin Chinese. I demonstrate all the tone pairs (two syllables). Please listen and imitate, because imitating is the most effective way to practice pronunciation.

    As a French teacher I can honestly say that you are the best Chinese teacher I ever met. You made the tones easy for us, thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    1st + 1st: 0:32
    2nd + 2nd: 0:53
    3rd + 3rd: 1:13
    4th + 4th: 1:27
    1st + 2nd: 1:40
    1st + 3rd: 2:05
    1st + 4th: 2:36
    1st + Neutral: 3:03
    2nd + 1st: 3:28
    2nd + 3rd: 3:52
    2nd + 4th: 4:15
    2nd + Neutral: 4:37
    3rd + 1st: 4:58
    3rd + 2nd: 5:19
    3rd + 4th: 5:40
    3rd + Neutral: 6:02
    4th + 1st: 6:38
    4th + 2nd: 7:00
    4th + 3rd: 7:24
    4th + Neutral: 7:45
    I've been taking Chinese for 5 years (2 in middle school, 3 in high school). I'm still struggling with tones. It's ok to struggle. Have a good day.

    Your tones are so clear and what is really helpful is to see how your mouth is shape in making the sounds. This is brilliant! Even with what may be seen as fairly similiar to English sounds the shape and movement of your the mouth provide important clues as to what I should be aiming at. This video is really helpful. 👏👏👏👍

    Thank you so much for helping me make sense of tones. Your examples are so easy to understand that I'll watch this every time I need a refresher.
    For what it's worth you're making a real difference in my girlfriend's life & mine. She's Chinese which is why I'm learning Mandarin, and finally being able to use & hear tones correctly will make it a lot easier to communicate with her family.

    Hello laoshi!I just wanted to know, do chinese memorize the tones in their head(pinying and the specific tone) or they just memorize the way the word sounds and they figure out the tones after that

    • @keystochinese0921
      @keystochinese0921  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Before young kids learn pinyin in school, they do not know the concept of intonation. Tones comes naturally for native speakers. In school, kids learn how to use pinyin to spell the pronunciation of Chinese characters. When learning learning new words, we memorize their pinyin syllables and how to write the characters.

  • @MrBrunoMi
    @MrBrunoMi 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

    what happens when you have more than two third tones following each other? For example, in 或者你可以找我姐姐 are all intermediate characters 者你可以找我 pronounced as second tones?

  • @dominik13579
    @dominik13579 ปีที่แล้ว

    Im a man with a bad voice who can not sing. And when I try first tone, a lot of times my voice cracks. And in generel my first tone doesn't sound natural at all.
    Any tipps on how to address this?

    • @artugert
      @artugert ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You are way overdoing it. You don’t need to be able to sing at all. It doesn’t even have to be very high pitch. It’s just high relative to the other tones. It can even be quite low, as long as the pitch remains steady and the third tone goes even lower.
