Pronunciation (TEST)


As mentioned earlier, Mandarin is a tonal language. This means that the tone you use when saying a certain syllable impacts its meaning (e.g. the syllable "ma" spoken in the first tone means mother while in the third tone it means horse).  There's a total of four basic tones and in this video you'll learn how to recognize and say each one of them. 

Take the quiz below to review and practice what you learned from the video.
