Chinese Tone Challenge! Can You Distinguish the Different Tones?

[@squickicka]

Differentiating 2nd and 3rd tone is definitely the hardest for me! I think it's specifically the 2nd tone - I almost never guess that something is a 2 when its a 3, but I constantly think 2 is a 3 😔

[@spicemaster3151]

Something that helped me is paying attention to how high the tone rises. A 2nd tone will go high, but a 3rd tone won't.

[@sasino]

Yesss, that's my exact problem. I keep mistaking the 2nd for a 3rd when it's at the beginning of a word, but I distinguish them in isolation or when at the end

[@andriizakharov4136]

yep, same here: 60% of my mistakes were misidentifying the 2nd tone as the 3rd, and 0% the other way around.

[@Weberbolo]

I do the opposite, I confuse 4 and 3 tones

[@pipebomb420]

You can compare it because 3rd tone is usually longer

[@yazars]

For people who are having trouble: I don't know how many people are taught this, but you could try doing exercises where you say all the tones for a sound, like ma1 ma2 ma3 ma4. If you try this with words/tones that you're unsure of, you can usually figure it out by hearing which one matches the word/tone you're trying to identify.

[@Soreto23]

Of course, such exercise will not help, just like practicing the yoyo Chinese chart for hours. The only way to master tones is by listening to Chinese, podcasts, short stories, and watching movies. This is a very long process that may take even years. In the presented recording, the teacher reads slowly for the first time and then very slowly. How does this compare to a normal conversation where Chinese people speak at a natural speed and also quickly, where they speak full sentences and not single words in slow motion? The worst thing a person starting out can do is pay too much attention to the tones and try to master them as a separate branch, it doesn't work like that. Pronunciation, of course, is very important, as are tones, I'm not saying they can be ignored. You have to keep them at the back of your mind, but the most important thing is learning the characters, reading and listening, and being exposed to the Chinese language. Otherwise, frustration will increase and bad thoughts will arise: 'maybe I don't have the right hearing', 'maybe I'll never master the tones', 'maybe the Chinese language is too difficult for me'? Therefore, I highly recommend not to be too hard on yourself, and avoid testing your knowledge of tones, as it may have a negative effect. Trust the learning process and systematicity, and the results will come. I am writing this as a person who has been learning Chinese almost every day for over 2 years. I see a huge improvement in my pronunciation and tones, but I also remember my first steps and big problems in distinguishing tones. Lots of people have learned Chinese, and you can too. 加油！

[@internetmarketingnow3629]

@@Soreto23 The characters do not need to be learned. Just go with pin yin will do. The most important is learning conversational Mandarin.

[@Cameron.Hubberstey]

@@internetmarketingnow3629 I strongly disagree. Reading is a fundamental part of learning any language to proficiency. (I study italian and spanish at university). I will admit that writing is less important though. As you mentioned, pinyin is all you need to write chinese online, you just need to recognise the characters

[@gurupartapkhalsa6565]

@@internetmarketingnow3629 everyone has different goals, if your goal is to survive because you're living in china then sure, you better memorize 100 sentences before you begin. For almost everyone else, you just gave the worst advice I've read today.

[@sasino]

The most important thing that I've noticed in the comments is that there are a lot of people, including me, who sometimes misrecognize the third tone as the second. I think that subject is worth a video. Thanks for making this video ❤️

[@armantavakoli7926]

I got 3/20 for getting both characters right and 15/40 for singles characters. I find this test fascinating for learning the tones. Thanks for making it!

Nice! You probably can get 20/20 now!!

[@GeoScorpion]

OUCH! 3/20 or 20/40. I'll definitely be spending more time on this video and any others like it that I can find. I wonder if there is an Anki deck for this kind of practice. THANK YOU, Grace! I needed to know how much practice I needed. This showed me.

[@lunarskys2645]

I nailed nearly all of the ones without the neutral tone. The neutral tone is definitely the hardest for me

[@Ethan-ib5hk]

To me it sounds like the low tone, but difference is that the neutral tone is shorter

[@errgo2713]

@lunarSkys As a native English speaker, I think neutral tone acts a bit like the "'ve" in "would've" or "should've". It's quick, loose, and doesn't need a pitch. Take 哥哥 for instance, which sounds like gē guh, just a minimal puff of air. All neutral tones sound sort of like an echo of the immediately previous tone.

[@sasino]

To me it's kinda easy to hear the neutral tone but I sometimes mistake the second tone for the third

[@pointlessfeather5830]

The good thing is that most of the neutral characters are either final particles, repetitions or, 着/子

[@basmahmrx4276]

[@MedinipuriTuka036]

Same here 😢 I often get confused with 2nd and 4th tone

[@gabilee1108]

20/20. but when the cases of 3 and 4, 2 and 4 were rapidly pronounced, it was the hardest to recognize for foreigner. I reckon in that cases, it is recommend to get familiar with context of dialogue.

[@TheMexikanKaktus]

3 in front of 4 is pronounced as 2

[@MedinipuriTuka036]

I only got 13/20 because I always confuse the 2nd tone and 4th tone. For me, 2nd tone is hard to distinguish from 3rd tone and 4th tone is hard to distinguish from 2nd tone

[@Manabi05]

This was so useful, thank you so much ! I did a score of 14/20 : I still need to work on the 5th tone, the 2nd and the 3rd.

[@Je.rone_]

I did very bad, but when listening to Chinese if they say some of the few words or phrases im quite familiar with I can understand it but for sure can't tell the tones even in those decreasingly rare moments.

[@iromiwijethunge7596]

I like this kind of test. I did twice. first time I got 15/20. second time I got 17/20. I found three problems. 1. I had to listen twice each word to recognize tones correctly. 2. I identified second tone as the third tone. 3. first tone + third tone combination, I identified third tone as fourth tone.

[@ConsciousRapper]

This was super fun, need to include this in my routine. I got 16/20, and it seems I'm very comfortable detecting 2 followed by 4, but have a bit of trouble when distinguishing between neutral tone and third (in non-isolated contexts).

[@brainpudding4664]

I really love these challenges to test myself. I think there are too few out there, so thank you very much :) I had two wrong and I already expected it but both were the third tone. I still struggle with this one 😔 But again thank you very much. Maybe you could make it harder and form sentences where we need to listen to the tone in order to get the correct translation or meaning? 🤔 So it’s not just listening but implementing at the same time. Like we’d have to do in real life situations? I don’t know if that would be too hard to do or not enough people would be interested in that but I think I’d be a good challenge 😅 Thanks again and have a nice day 😊

Yesssss that's the only mistake I kept making. I know the difference, but when the second tone is on the first character in a word, in my ears it sounds like the third sometimes.

[@genace]

I got 3 wrong🙁or 3 half-wrong if it can count like that. They were #4, #9 and #19, which were all either 1,0 or 1,3. I think the 2,0 pair is easier to distinguish, but the neutral tones in the 1,0 and 1,3 pairs sound like a similar low pitch to me. I wasn’t sure which ones were short enough lol This was fun though. Since all my mistakes were similar tone pairs, it definitely showed me what I need to pay more attention to. Thanks always!

17/20! Right after the last tone test! This time, it was yet again the 3rd 🔽 tone and now the 0⃣ neutral tone. I got the ↗ tone better this time around. And also because Grace 老师 pronounces them very clearly I got them right.

[@rawcopper604]

Seeing that I can guess these 100% of the time after a few months of mandarin is a huge confidence boost for me

[@chrispatrick9196]

same here I'm just learning and 3rd and 2nd are difficult to set apart, but what helps is to identify the 3rd tone it's that sounds like a growl

[@joeldo.holanda]

Distinguishing between tones is no problem at all The real problem is remembering the right tones for every word you know, not to mention the variations

[@Swagtildawn]

Haven't studied Mandarin in years but I'm getting back in the game for real this time. Wanted to take a quick tone test to see if my ear was still even relatively tuned into the language. The first ten I got 5/20 of the tones, but the second ten I got 14/20. Overall horrible, but once I got going it got a lot better. Great video!

[@veexish]

To me the hardest is between 1 and 4, but only because you pronounced very clearly the depth of the 3rd tone!

[@ferryrustandi944]

I scored 14/20. The most difficult thing is differentiating the second tone from the third tone.

[@rothschildianum]

She does not have accurate pronunciation! That is why it is hard for you to hear. Don't feel bad.

[@alejandracarreira6437]

No doubts the hardest for me is the 3rd tone. I will think is the 2nd! Anyway, lovely video!!

[@irontius]

I think the reason why many students confused between tone 2 and 3 is because a lot of Chinese teachers teach the tone 3 in wrong way! Because of the tone 3 sign is down and up, they told the tone is go down and go up and you should pronounce it long. In fact the third tone is only low tone and short. I don't know how they all teach 3rd tone in wrong way. The exception is if there are two words both with tone 3, the first tone 3 will be pronounced like tone 2 so we can speak it easily. If there are 3 words all in tone 3 (like wo hen hao), then the middle word will be prounounced like tone 2. In fact I found so far only this channel that taught the 3rd tone correctly. The best Chinese language channel👍

[@StephSunshineArtistry]

I got 6 of them wrong and 4 of them were a 2nd tone that I thought was a 3rd. But after listening to it like this I realized that the 3rd tone is a lot lower, while the 2nd tone goes higher at the end. So I'll pay more attention to it in the future!

[@danielbriggs991]

I got #3, 4, 8, 9, 15, & 19 half wrong. I was taught that 3rd tone falls then rises but I definitely didn't hear that here. It sounds much more like mid-falling and I picked that up quick after #3. If only I had continued to consistently apply that thought, I would have got #8 & #15 right. #4 sounded like 3rd tone because of what I had just learned, but it was no tone. Then guess I overcorrected for that, because the other 2 mistakes were in the opposite direction.

[@PrimeChosenOne]

12/20 (or 30/40) Which is a huge improvement on when I tried this a year ago. Maybe I'll revisit in another year!

[@luisaguilar5343]

I just took this challenge as I take a crash course because I have a hard time pronouncing the 3rd time. This is my first attempt and I got 20 out of tones correct. I counted each tone per question as 1 point or 2 points per question. So I got 50% correct, or an F. My stats for my guesses break out like this: Amount of Guesses Wrong: 1st tone: 4 out of 8 guesses wrong 2nd tone: 1 out of 7 guesses wrong 3rd tone: 5 out of 10 guesses wrong 4th tone: 8 out of 11 guesses wrong Neutral tone: 1 out of 2 guesses wrong. So from this, you can determine 2 main things. #1 I hear 3rd and 4th tones more than I should. #2 I can hear 2nd tone the clearest out of all of them. If anyone finds this useful or interesting that is cool. You should know that I am tone deaf and also actually deaf in 1 ear. So take my results with a grain of salt. This mini-analysis is more for ME to use and come back to later, in a few months when I have more Mandarin classes under my belt.

[@sicrowlogical]

If for every tone I had right, I'd get 0,5 points, then I would have 36,5/40 points. I had the first two completely wrong and three half wrong. I probably got the first two wrong because I didn't learn any Chinese today so I wasn't warmed up (Let me have this please, I need this for my ego). And the other mistakes are definitely the 2nd and 4th tone. There's no tone I'd say is especially hard for me to recognize. I have problems with all of them. Because sometimes the 2nd tone sounds like a 4th tone. Sometimes the 3rd tone soundsl ike the 2nd or 4th tone. The 1st tone is probably the easiest but today it even sounded like the 4th tone for me??? And the neutral tone is too rare to practice it well... *cries*

[@frechjo]

I got the first one right, but then second guessed it :( The mistakes I made were: 1: 1-4, should be 2-4 (2→1) 6: 3-4, should be 2-4 (2→3) 9: 1-4, should be 1-3 (3→4) 19: 2-3, should be 1-3 (1→2) Well, there doesn't seem to be a lot of logic behind my mistakes. I guess there's no quick fix, I'll need to get better at hearing in general, lol. Thank you, this is a great way to practice :)

[@antoniocreator3772]

I think differentiating the neutral tone and the dipping tone is the hardest, because the dipping tone sounds like a "low falling tone" and so does the neutral tone (even though i pronounce the neutral tone as an low/medium tone).

This was fun! I definitely got better as I went along. Got 4 wrong though. Apparently I mistake the second for the 3rd tone sometimes. Question 11 I said 33 and it was 22 😑

Is it cheating if you consider that before a 3rd tone, you can't have another? So 3-3 would actually sound like 2-3 (by the tone sandhi rules).

I got 15/20 but 5 false answers are only 1 of them :) For me, the difficult part is the 1 and 2 tone. I think it's because at the end I hear the same tone (high tone) so really have to hear from the beginning of the tone to the final tone in focus mode
