  • I haven't yet but will do more when I have time

  • Superb! Your excellence in English really helps native English speakers learn the language! Keep up the good work!

  • I will ! Thanks for your encouragement : )

  • In fact, when we sing, the words are not of the same tones as we speak!

  • I don't get what the diff is b/n / and V in the singing demotion. I am a native Semitic speakers. Hard for me to get this. Tonality is used to denote emotion not meaning.

  • What does b/n and V stand for?

  • To express emotion in Chinese, one may add words of exclamation at the beginning or at the end of a sentence as well as by adjusting the duration of words on which we emphasis.

  • @BabyBeeHive The fourth (i.e. falling) tone sounds "regular" or "natural" to me. I would have to think about it more and play with examples, but perhaps my accent and other manner of speech produce many falling tones?

  • Amazing!! Thank you so much!

  • Lots of people seem to be having trouble with the 3rd tone, but I still can't get the 4th right.

  • Thanks so much! I'm trying to learn some basic Chinese so I can understand my Sifu at wushu without needing to go through someone to translate for me

  • YES!!!!! finally a way o keep the tones inside my mind!!! is this the kind of language that is easy at the beginning and gets more and more complicated the more you study it? or is it hard at the start, but gets somewhat redictable on time? thanksss

  • Thanks fr your helps , the examples you gave really helped

  • Really good! Thank you very much!

  • thanks mandarinMontreal!finally i understand the tones! have you posted more videos?with the same teching style?
