Love the decision of using word pairs where the only difference is the tone. Getting tones correct is really one of the most important details for Chinese learners. Examples like buy vs. sell really highlight the importance of tone for meaning.

@jasondicioccio880 5 месяцев назад

Me too! I used to be pretty bad too... Its a good thing to spend effort learning, because once you can reliably hear it, it allows you to correct your own tones. When you say a tone wrong, it will "bite your ear"

@kennyPAGC 5 месяцев назад

I'm not good with tones but got 18/20. Your pronounciation is just so clear. Also, having the choice between two options helps a lot. Next video could be tougher and have let us decide the used tones.

@GraceMandarinChinese 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I actually have a challenge that fits exactly what you're looking for: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sipDvwvBJ_w.htmlsi=CwzZXd8_MpAn2qLU. It's designed to help you decide the used tones and might be a great next step for you. :)

@heikachan8052 5 месяцев назад

I only made 4 mistakes! I'm at the very start of my Chinese learning and I think I'm bad with tones (I'm not being modest, I genuinely think it's true) and my native language is known to be very flat. I'm so happy with my result, and I'm proud of myself!

5 месяцев назад

Thanks for making this video, it was really useful. I struggled with a few of the 3rd tones. To help me discriminate between the tones, when the answers are revealed it would be great to hear both A and B being spoken. (Just saying in case you make a similar video in the future 😊)

@GraceMandarinChinese 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the suggestion! I was thinking about that too!

@VernAfterReading 5 месяцев назад

First time trying tones like this. Got less than 10 right, and many I couldn't even guess. The tones are SO short! I think I need to hear the same tone many times over at different speeds. Or maybe same word with different tones over and over. Still fun.

@OmeidaYangshuo 5 месяцев назад

it's about a lot of input, keep it up!

@ssangari 5 месяцев назад

i got everything right but the combinations that are hardest to distinguish for me are 3+4 and 2+4. they sound really similar D: :

@NicrophorusVesp 5 месяцев назад

@ashleycapdeboscq364 5 месяцев назад

I got most of them right, except for 5, 9, 12, & 18. I'm pretty sure it's the same thing I mixed up each time, though I'll need to go back to check. But, when I tried your first video (I think just about when it came out!) I remember being COMPLETELY LOST because I had just really gotten started learning. A very fun mile marker

@chiichuuhaija1605 5 месяцев назад

100% despite beginner with no knowledge of any languages similar to Chinese but it is cuz I had done a bit of listening practice and practicing tone ranges with my own voice. Also, I was taught that 3rd tone is like a super low voice to the point of cracking 99% time since most natives speak fast or unless at the end of a word. I wish you all luck my friends! Elementary Chinese YT channel helped a lot too.

@josephmak0865 5 месяцев назад

Good exercise. Usually people speak quickly and hard to catch tone of many words at once... Context is important too... For example if someone talking about finding a theme 主題 to write something... Not likely to talk about pig feet豬蹄. The tone marks above the words make the quiz easier. Perhaps your next quiz can remove that to make it even more challenging.

@GraceMandarinChinese 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for the suggestion! But if I remove the tone marks, then it's more like I'm testing people's ability to recognize the characters and whether they remember their tones. 😝

@aryawp02 5 месяцев назад

I got 13/20 right 😔 I think the tone I struggled the most is 2 and sometimes 3! I can usually distinguish 1 due to its high pitch (some say singing tone) and 4 due to the throaty sound.

@kyivstuff 3 месяца назад

I think it would be helpful to include both pronunciations after the pause for writing the answer - to better learn the difference. 1. - 2. B 3. B 4. B 5. A 6. A 7. A 8. B 9. B 10. A 11. B 12. A 13. A 14. A 15. - 16. B 17. A 18. - 19. B 20. -

@msh-l33t 5 месяцев назад

When I first started out I thought it was impossible to differentiate, but 6 months into learning I can confidently say that my perception has improved a lot, though I still need some practice with differentiating between the 3rd and 4th tones especially when it's the first syllable.

@f_bara2310 5 месяцев назад

5 mistakes and I would say that I struggled the most with the fourth tone, but I'm glad that I can recognise them pretty easily. I still need to improve my pronunciation though. My native Chinese friends say that my Chinese is pretty good, but I think they are just polite, cause my vocabulary is still very basic. I can share about many things and they can understand me, but I'm still struggling to understand them… 😄

@@GraceMandarinChinese⁠⁠⁠ Don’t worry. The English short i sound is difficult for many people. I feel like it’s pronounced somewhere between ㄝ and 一. It’s hard to explain lol. You pronounced “listen”really well at around the :30 second timestamp. If you use the same “i”pronunciation in “video” as you did in “listen”, then I think it would sound perfect!
