Tones are used to distinguish words that have the same sound. They may sound similar to speaking with intonation in English, except rather than conveying emotion, they convey a different meaning. Below is a chart of the different tones used <strong>(Clickable in \u201cPinyin\u201d column)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe src=index-169.html style=\"width:800px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Mandarin-Chinese-Pinyin-Chart-with-Audio\">#2: Mandarin Chinese Pinyin Chart with Audio<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Here you can see <a href=index-147.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chinese pinyin chart<\/a> with audio examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"260\" src=index-170.html alt=\"Chinese pinyin Chart\" class=\"wp-image-834\" title=\"Chinese pinyin Chart\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Chinese-pinyin-Chart.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Chinese-pinyin-Chart-300x134.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=index-171.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dong Chinese<\/a> also offers an audio database of pinyin sounds as part of its initial 10-lesson free course. At the end, there is a test where you can practice speaking with sentences provided in pinyin, Chinese characters and English. As the image shows, you get a grade for each section and are able to hear a recording of how you sounded. The course is also graded as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Numeric-Pinyin-to-Tone-Marks-Converter\">#3: Numeric Pinyin to Tone Marks Converter<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Presenting the <a href=index-172.html target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pinyin Input and Convert Tool<\/a> \u2013 you can use numbers to add tone marks to pinyin. For example, if you type \u201cXi1an1,\u201d it will be converted to \u201cX\u012b\u2019\u0101n.\u201d This is helpful when you want to type in pinyin using tone marks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"155\" src=index-173.html alt=\"Chinese numbers pinyin\" class=\"wp-image-849\" title=\"Chinese numbers pinyin\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/31.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/31-300x80.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As the creator of the website says, \u201cThis Chinese numbers pinyin converter tool is the first and only tool for correctly adding tone marks to pinyin from within a web browser.

It involves listening to audio, then repeating what you hear almost immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The method of both listening and following closely with speaking helps you hone in on key aspects of pronunciation. The idea is to imitate everything about the speaker&#8217;s delivery, including intonation, pitch, stress and even the emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as giving your vocal cords and facial muscles a workout, the process is deeply engrossing and really helps to reset your brain&#8217;s expectations of what kind of sounds you should be making when you speak. It also builds confidence when used over time, so when you do speak, your listeners won&#8217;t have to work too hard to understand you, and your conversations will flow more easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not unlike drama class &#8212; we are acting to some extent when we take on a new language, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a sample from the first lesson, on the topic of hobbies (\u00e0ih\u00e0o, \u7231\u597d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"wpex-responsive-media\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lesson 1 -  Chinese Pronunciation Training | The Imitation Technique\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" src=5iclshiemia5374.html  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Step 1: Listen to the whole conversation or content first.

It can be used with both Netflix and YouTube. The extension provides subtitles for videos, and you can opt to have it show characters, pinyin or an English translation. When you hover your mouse over a character, it tells you the pinyin and the English for it. Clicking on the character allows you to hear the pronunciation and the English meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watching Chinese language shows with the Chinese subtitles on is a less intensive yet still effective listening practice that will also improve your pronunciation. Netflix has an impressive collection of dramas set in imperial times in majestic palaces with amazing period costumes, a particular favorite of mine. My personal recommendations are The Princess Weiyoung (\u9526\u7ee3\u672a\u592e; J\u01d0nxi\u00f9 w\u00e8iy\u0101ng) &nbsp;(shown at the right being used with Language Reactor) and Yanxi Palace: Princess Adventures (\u91d1\u679d\u7389\u53f6; J\u012bnzh\u012by\u00f9y\u00e8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=index-187.html><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"480\" src=index-187.html alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Chinese_Pronunciation_tools_61.jpg 870w, https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Chinese_Pronunciation_tools_61-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.digmandarin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Chinese_Pronunciation_tools_61-768x424.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Important note<\/em>: The dialogue seen in Netflix shows may be better suited to intermediate and advanced students than beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Language-exchange-partners\">#4: Language exchange partners<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>And of course there\u2019s always the offline option \u2013 finding a language exchange partner who can correct your pronunciation and boost your confidence in speaking Chinese in real-life situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check out more tips about learning Chinese through the language exchange <a href=index-188.html>here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From recording your speaking abilities to testing your tones, these Chinese pronunciation tools should help invigorate your interest in mastering Mandarin pronunciation.
