I missed two. Hearing Chinese spoken other than by teachers has made it more real. However, to miss this opportunity to be a comic-I do notneed a costume!

[@MandarinHQ]

That means you got eight right. Not bad! It's nice not needing a costume to be a comic... I suspect most comics would get away with not wearing a costume--as long as they have good punchlines😊 Thanks for commenting!

@@MandarinHQ one trouble for me is distinguishing the c, z q, x sounds. What I have done is lock onto a Pin Yin site and repeatedly copy their pronunciation c remains a problem as ts sound at a start of a word is not normal in English, but it is in Russian. Not exactly the same when I hear you say a c sound I try to copy. thank you I have no pin yin type Xie xie.

@@richard-fy2mu Yes, those sounds can certainly be tricky. It's great that you listen carefully to native language models and try to repeat what you hear as closely as possible. Often some more guidance is needed to get them completely right. I'm currently creating an entire course on the sounds of Mandarin and will most likely also make a YT video on those specific sounds in the next few months. Stay tuned😊

@@richard-fy2mu It sounds like you’re putting a lot of effort into mastering these sounds-keep it up! 👍The sounds "c," "z," "q," and "x" are tricky for many learners, so you're definitely not alone in this challenge. Here are some tips that might help: C (like "ts"): As you noticed, the "c" sound is like a quick "ts" sound in English, but it’s quite short and sharp, almost like a single burst. Try to pronounce "ts" without letting it flow into an "s" sound, keeping it short and clipped. Z (like "dz"): The "z" sound in Pinyin is close to the "dz" sound in "kids." It’s also quick and should not blend into an "s" sound, which can help keep it distinct from "c." Q: Place the tip of your tongue close to the roof of your mouth, right behind your top teeth. The sound is similar to "ch" in English, but softer and further forward in the mouth. X: Try to make this sound by pressing your tongue against the roof of your mouth, near the middle rather than the front. It’s softer than "sh" in English, almost like the "h" sound in "hue." It’s awesome that you’re using online resources! Repetition is key, so keep listening and mimicking. Also, consider recording yourself to compare with native speakers-it can be super helpful! Keep going-your efforts will pay off. 加油！💪
