Looking through the Pronunciation videos on Domino Edu App Trial, a Swedish production. Why many Swedish interested in Chinese?

Short poetry practice session today.

I wrote my P.E. class in Chinese. Then I did small sentences and also separated the individual words. I try to master the tones of those words, then the sentences, and then the explanation. Finally...

My main issue is the tones. Particularly tone 2 and 4, in combination with others. I started today by working with tones 1 + 2 and 1 + 4 by mimicking. I'm using this free source: https://mandarinma...

Milja joined the challenge!

Did Course one-practice 8.

I did an online fluency test and got about 85% correct.

listening and practicing jiang / zhang / zheng in each of the tones - these are ones I can miss in natural speech

Lured my conversation partner into making me another set of work related recordings - her accent is perfect.

中文角 - sliding my mimicking practice into conversations in the guise of “mirroring” which socially just seems like attentive listening skills. Sneaky!

as for yesterday

A helpful patient at work corrected my pronunciation of 收据 so that kickstarted me on revising and mimicking some work-related words
