This is such a great video, I had to learn about this over many videos and observation from native speakers, and this video wouldve made things so much easier. I'm sure still will help so many chinese learners!
I also think the same way when I learn Chinese using Hello Chinese app where the native speakers tend to speak smoothly. Now it makes sense. Thank you so much for this great video.
Great video. The only thing that I didn't see mentioned was the vocal fry (cracking sound) on the 3rd tone. No one seems to mention it, but I've heard it all over China. Chinese people tend to do it when they speak with falling intonation in English too.
谢谢老师. I am not a native speaker nor am I very fluent but I found myself subconsciously shortening the third tone and was scared that native speakers won't understand me but I'm glad to find out that it's normal and common. Such a relief.
Damn this is so frickin useful why do no other videos or teachers talk about this LOL ... Bit of a "What Chinese teachers don't want you to know!" moment. Especially with "ni hao" and tones in general being the first thing everyone learns - It always confused me how the tone in "ni" usually sounds different than the one in "hao".
Thanks a lot...Yishuang.... I'm start learning Chinese Language..I'm so interested your teaching. You're a good teacher for me.I'm looking forward next new lessons. God bless you always...!
You are such a wonderful teacher, I am new but I could a little of Chinese. what would the fast way of learning Chinese to able to express my self fluently. I am from Africa to be precise Ghana. Thank you.
Your lesson style is helping me to connect with the Chinese language. Xie xie lao shi, Yishuang. As a reminder of all my other teachers, I am still connected to them on a regular basis and am enjoying lao shi's: Shirley, Nina, cici, Una, Demi, Janine, and many others I haven't forgotten. They all work very hard at what they do.
you really explane all the things very good an clear , i followed many teachers of chinese , you are the first one, i became agree for your special ways , to help any one want to learn cbhinese, than you alot fot that
Hello teacher! That's such a beautiful dress you're wearing. Thanks for the lesson! Your American English is absolutely excellent. I wonder where you learned it? Anyway, I'm really impressed. My hat's off to you Ma'am.
Thank you for the great lesson! I am very confused about the tones for the word 姐姐. The pinyin is jǐe jǐe, so from this lesson I would think it would be spoken with a rising third tone followed by a half or full third tone. But every time I hear this word it is instead spoken with a half third tone followed by a first tone! Can someone explain? Thank you!
Can you please make a video on how to say family members in Mandarin?! I Jane tons of relatives who speak Mandarin and I would love to call them In Mandarin lol
Ni hao, this playlist helped me a lot in understanding a starting out mandarin, xie xie ni. Just a question, is this the last video on your beginner chinese mandarin lesson?
Hi. It's the last beginner lesson right now, but I will be adding more beginner lessons. Have you seen my Vocabulary and Pinyin lesson series? They are very useful as well.
@@HarbinMandarin ahh thanks, i will just leave some space in my notebook just in case. I am currently watching your chinese vocabulary builder series lesson 4, they are pretty useful. Also an irrelevant question, my parents have worked at taiwan for almost 7 years, but they are now here. Together, while I'm learning chinese, there are contradicting pronunciations that let to long discussions like in 1 hundred, they say its yi pai not yi bai. Is it normal, or their words are outdated?
very helpful, thank you teacher. but i have a question, in the example of "where is the hospital" why didn't the tone in 'yi yuan' change to a rising tone ?
I am learning chinese and korean together. I am now able to make short korean sentences but I just started learning chinese . so mam can you tell me can I learn both languages together .
Very interesting lesson. I have a couple of questions. First, do you think that these kind of third-tone tonal changes could encourage "lazy practices" in terms of not speaking clearly? For example does it give the impression that one is "mumbling their Mandarin" or is "not sounding intelligent" because it sounds like one is not speaking their words clearly? Second, I think that I sometimes use The Rising Third Tone correctly, but my Chinese fiancé is often correcting me. She says "No no you're saying the 2nd tone you should be using the 3rd tone". That makes me think that my Rising Third tone sounds too much like the Second Tone. Do you have any tips for making the Rising Third Tone more clear? Is it safer for me to stick with the Half Third Tone? Or just pronounce the Third Tone fully? Thanks for reading my comment!
Hi Richard. These changes are done to make the words flow more smoothly. It's hard to give examples in a comment, but I'll try. I think the example I gave in English of "Go Away" becoming "Go Wa Way" helps illustrate this. If you say "Go-Wa-Way" when speaking slowly and the syllables are disconnected it will sound wrong and strange. If it's spoken so that the syllables are all connected and flow together it will sound perfectly normal. Similarly, when there are are two third tones in a row, the first one should change to the rising third tone to make the words flow together. If these are said separately then it will also sound wrong. I hope this helps. As an overall answer, I don't think this encourages lazy practices - it's how people naturally speak, but if not pronounced correctly or said in a disconnected way it will sound wrong.
I think that as the lovely Laoshi has explained the rising part of 3rd tone starts lower than the 2nd tone and that is what your.Chinese fiancee keeps referring to.:)
@@HarbinMandarin Xie Xie. Can you translate famous Chinese Tik Tok songs? Great music but can't understand the lyrics. Just think about it. This will be so interesting. Famous Chinese Song Translation. ☺👩🏫👩💻🙋♂️
American english speakers do a lot of stuff like this to make speaking smoothly. Most of us dont articulate, for am example, instead of saying "city" we say "cidy", or "water" is "wader" 😂 im guilty of this also
Not quite understood what you mean, but I am guessing you are asking if the rules are still the same when answering a question with third tone change？the answer is yes, the changing rules are very very often use
Miss, may I know why there is no "downrising" accent on my keypad? All I have are: æ, ã, å, ā, à, á, â & ä. Accents that are applicable in mandarin are: á, à, ā & â (uprising instead of downrising). Much appreciate if you could help. Xiè xiè.
This is such a great video, I had to learn about this over many videos and observation from native speakers, and this video wouldve made things so much easier.
I'm sure still will help so many chinese learners!

I'm learning both chinese and english with your videos!
That's great! Happy learning!
Me too. I practice Chinese tones and English listening at the same time.

what happens when you have two third tones together and then any tone after those. Do we change the pronunciation at the beggining or at the end?

Hi Michael! You are very welcome!
Yisheng 老师，
还有一个事情，我很好奇 (I wonder...) : 难道，像在我发现了在这短的时间，南边的人就潮流是他们读音3-3声调像2-3嘛，反而北方人更读音半3-3嘛，是吗？可能有这样的区别吗？还是很容易这由于每个人本人的潮流呢？
谢谢！拜拜！

Miss, may I know why there is no "downrising" accent on my keypad? All I have are: æ, ã, å, ā, à, á, â & ä. Accents that are applicable in mandarin are: á, à, ā & â (uprising instead of downrising). Much appreciate if you could help. Xiè xiè.
