  • Xie xie nin Diana laoshi! You have done very well with your explanation on pinyin. For English-speaking people like me, pinyin would come as a big relief trying to learn to speak Mandarin Chinese. Keep up with the excellent work! I could sense your commitment in your videos. By the way, are a teacher? Warmest regards, Lee KS

  • I'd like to be some day. I don't have a background in education but it's something I feel a natual afinity to. Thanks for the kind words! Namaste.

  • I learned that "ni" is spoken with an up tone (ní), when it comes before "hao".

  • I agree, it can certain sound that way. I was never taught that in school but I definitely see your point. ;-)

  • I liked watching this, it was easy understand!, thank you for putting these up!

  • I'm so glad you like it. Makes me motivated to add more vids. ;-) Cheers!

  • The fifth tone she demonstrated is WRONG!

  • you did more than an ok job. get out of here you did a perfect job.

  • @Flimmerjung my chinese teacher taught me that this year! she said it was because two 3rd tones sound weird together or something xD

  • Jesus, girl, make your bed and clean your room! Where's your mom?

  • I thought it would be something fun, Like all those "Say R in Chinese". This was boring, but surely useful to some.

  • Thank you very much:)
