The teacher (Jessica) communicates well. Covered the pinyin system, initials and finals and tones. The tones seem a bit daunting right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covered the pinyin system, initials and finals and tones. The tones seem a bit daunting right now. The tones are really difficult for me, too. I have put the learning on hold, but a while ago when I was still doing it, I could identify the tone correctly and pronounce it right most of the time, but only for words/syllables in isolation - once there's a whole sentence, for me one tone just blends into another, and I struggle to distinguish it afterwards. Mimicking native speakers helps somewhat, but I feel it's going to be years of regular dedicated practice to reach any level of fluency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue 955 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Been told by Germans that my German is impressive for the 10 months i've been here. I don't particulary agree as i just think they rate it better from the other foreigners that are here for ages and learnt nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
