As an elementary learner of Mandarin Chinese, you hopefully have already gotten a handle on most of the "tough sounds" of the language. Unfortunately, being able to pronounce a word when you drop everything and focus super hard on that one- or two-syllable word isn't quite good enough. Time to push on into more challenging phrases before you can truthfully say you have mastered the really challenging sounds of the language.

B1 Tough Sounds

As an intermediate learner, there are still some sounds to work on! By combinaing sounds that were hard for you as an elementary learner, you can increase the challenge and get your pronunciation to a really excellent level.

You don't have to do those in order, but you definitely want to master them all.
