Love the decision of using word pairs where the only difference is the tone. Getting tones correct is really one of the most important details for Chinese learners. Examples like buy vs. sell really highlight the importance of tone for meaning.

Me too! I used to be pretty bad too... Its a good thing to spend effort learning, because once you can reliably hear it, it allows you to correct your own tones. When you say a tone wrong, it will "bite your ear"

I got 17/20! The 🔽 was problematic for me. I initially couldn't distinguish it from the ↘ tone. After the 11th question I got everything correct, and heard that the 🔽 tone had an immediate 'low' tone compared with how it would 'slide' downwards in the ↘ tone. Very very subtle though. Thank you~ This video is super helpful.

100% despite beginner with no knowledge of any languages similar to Chinese but it is cuz I had done a bit of listening practice and practicing tone ranges with my own voice. Also, I was taught that 3rd tone is like a super low voice to the point of cracking 99% time since most natives speak fast or unless at the end of a word. I wish you all luck my friends! Elementary Chinese YT channel helped a lot too.

Good exercise. Usually people speak quickly and hard to catch tone of many words at once... Context is important too... For example if someone talking about finding a theme 主題 to write something... Not likely to talk about pig feet豬蹄. The tone marks above the words make the quiz easier. Perhaps your next quiz can remove that to make it even more challenging.

When I first started out I thought it was impossible to differentiate, but 6 months into learning I can confidently say that my perception has improved a lot, though I still need some practice with differentiating between the 3rd and 4th tones especially when it's the first syllable.

5 mistakes and I would say that I struggled the most with the fourth tone, but I'm glad that I can recognise them pretty easily. I still need to improve my pronunciation though. My native Chinese friends say that my Chinese is pretty good, but I think they are just polite, cause my vocabulary is still very basic. I can share about many things and they can understand me, but I'm still struggling to understand them… 😄

You pronounced “listen”really well at around the :30 second timestamp. If you use the same “i”pronunciation in “video” as you did in “listen”, then I think it would sound perfect!
