love the casual way of teaching Mandarin, the tone is indeed a super tricky part in Chinese Mandarin study process. Especially the third tone and I always tell my students to make effort to nod the head and lift the head again when pronouncing the third tone lol Thanks for spreading beautiful Chinese language to the world and inspiration. I'm inspired to make Chinese teaching vids to contribute too

I understand I don't need since the beginning learns all the vocabulary and all the way to write Chinese.
