Revision as of 08:24, 21 April 2020

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

3-3 also experiences a tone change, when read, it becomes 2-3. 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.

所有 suǒyǒu all
有点 yǒudiǎn a little
水果 shuǐguǒ fruit
也许 yěxǔ perhaps, maybe
