I really appreciate all these videos. They're so professional, the pacing is so reasonable, and the use of clips and tools like praat probably make these videos the best videos to learn Chinese on youtube. I don't think you have any competition really.
Wow🥰 thankyou very much, this is very helpful. I love that you play different video clips, and keep replaying the tones. Your explaination is so clear. ❤❤谢谢 for preparing and sharing this. ❤
sometimes I wonder if I'm losing my ability to understand Chinese since I had to stop taking classes, but I can definitely still hear the difference between tones and even piece together the words I didn't know just by guessing the pinyin and typing the full phrase! These videos are great because they cover different sentences, voices, and speeds!
I think after learning the language for a while you are developing distinct phonological categories in your mind that will persist for a long time! Your brain is changing as a result of learning.
I think the one on 13:38 sounds like zhǎng, because her voice quivers with emotion and goes really low for a microsecond. You can even see it on the specrogram, there is a tiny dip that goes very low as her voice quivers. I could tell from context that it was supossed to be zhāng, but it sounded more like zhǎng. Also half the time it actually sounds more like Zhao, rather than Zhang.
Do you have any good suggestion on how to differentiate words when listening without subtitle or like in general if someone is speaking? Since like the one with: 万物停止 for me I heard ( 玩物听只) Because I listen to the word itself and not the tone, only because those words I have learned. Because due to the similarities between the words it's hard to differentiate what is what in a sentence. Like if someone just say: 玩 you wouldn't know which (Wan) *完玩顽* im talking about without more information while most other languages have a completely different sound/word which makes it easy to differentiate with just one word and remember when someone is talking about something. So any good tip on how to maybe understand a conversation easier? without having to knowing the entire conversation. Great video :) hopefully next time I will have time to join.
As you progress in the language, your ability to distinguish tones will naturally develop. I hope this video series can help you focus on differentiating tones so make the process easier. :) Make sure to watch lots of TV shows rather than learning from books so you will hear Chinese sounds more www.zerotohero.ca/en/zh/tv-shows
I'm new to this but I am finding getting the difference between the second and the third tones challenging. It seems as though men tend to have a rise at the end of the third tone making it sound like it could be a second tone, which definitely has a rise in tone. Perhaps in natural speach, one won't hear a rise in tone from the low tone of the third tone, but in isolation, I am often hearing that rise at the end. (like in the classic greeting 'ni hau') It would be interesting to hear a video showing minimal pairs between the second the the third tones.
In the end, I'm not trying to listen to the rising-falling pattern, but whether the syllable has a *lower* pitch. Even though it's hard to hear that it's *not* flat, that's actually the less important part, it seems? (Also if it's shorter or less sustained, thise are also the other key indicators that it's the third tone here)
So I am confused by the two shengs that sound the same but use a different character. Is there a reason for this or is it something that I just have to accept? Does that mean there are other characters that will make the exact same sound and tone as sheng in addition to these two?
@@ChineseZeroToHero thanks, even though I am working on several languages, I sometimes forget the tricky things in my 2nd dominant language, it makes sense to me now
@@ChineseZeroToHero Chinese, Korean, Spanish, French. German is my mother tongue but English is at least as dominant if not more so by now. The above mentioned, I work on them daily. Norwegian and Arabic are on the back burner for now.

Thanks :) I'm studying linguistics at SFU just so that I can make these language instruction videos better.
This way of identifying and practising tones are very effective and fun.
I’ve just discovered your channel and this video (I’m re-starting Chinese). This format is awesome! Thank you 🙏

I absolutely love this lives! Really helps with getting the tones right. Thank you!
You are a good teacher
Very Helpful. This is really good, thanks.
Excellent class! 谢谢

There is any place to watch dramas with pinyin and simplified/traditional subtitles?
www.zerotohero.ca/en/zh/tv-shows
If you want to traditional characters you can change it in the settings (nav bar > settings > use traditional)
Gr8 vdo. Thank you
effective and fun

can u help how to start social earning in China??? if paid course also okay
Do you recommend me the best learning video of pinyin and tones?

It’s like right vs write, meat vs mete, seek vs Sikh, norm vs Norm, wait vs weight

Thumb up for the video, thumb down for the person who created tonal languages.
Oops got it wrong
first one
Why have you removed my comment from May/30/2024, on the duration of your presentation? You do not "like" - or even allow - a critique? Ah so.
