Revision as of 03:38, 21 April 2020

This page will cover some examples of the 1-3 tone pair, which Sinosplice rates as a "4" on a difficulty rating of 1-7 (easiest to hardest).

This one's a little difficult. First character is flat and high, when going into the second character start low then go lower before rising to a high tone. Practice this tone pair using the words below. Once you can say them reliable in isolation (as just a tone pair), try putting them in longer sentences while keeping the tones accurate.

Audio Chinese Pinyin English
多少 duōshǎo how much, how many
多久 duōjiǔ how long
开始 kāishǐ to start

方法 fāngfǎ method
