汉语普通话语音图解课本
第一课到第二课 I thought I had lost this textbook long ago but then suddenly found it today in one of my drawers. It's such an amazing graphic book about phonetics and is paired with audio recordings. The pictures help you understand tongue/teeth/lip position during certain sounds, and it helps me a ton with distinguishing sounds like e-i/n-l/etc.

绕口令

Talking about random stuff and getting feedback from a native speaker

Reading aloud

Recording myself speaking about different topics and then getting feedback on my pronunciation (and grammar) from a native speaker.

Had some fun with videos on 北京话. Not sure if I would ever use the phrases from them or try to imitate the accent outside of studying time, but it's something new and enjoyable for me.

I used this video both to review some vocabulary I've learned before and to practice my intonation. Took me a lot of time to go over each sentence until I felt I had mastered it, but it was worth it. Got feedback on HiNative.

It's a pity I found these videos only now. They are extremely helpful both for beginners and advanced learners. From now on I'll use them to "warm up" before speaking with my language exchange partners.

shadowing

shadowing

My plan for this month's challenge is to use a TV show to practice shadowing and basically to try to imitate the native speakers' accents, pronunciation, intonation, etc.
The show I chose is 《最好的我们》since I am familiar with the dialogue (I've watched it before).
I'm just gonna practise saying some of the sentences I feel are useful, like ones with common expressions. questions (to practice the intonation), etc. I will also ask for feedback on HiNative

------------------
Today, I started practising with the first episode of 最好的我们。
I‘m gonna record part of my practice sessions and upload a link here, so that I can track my progress.
