If you ask any Mandarin learner which aspect of the language they find most challenging, it’s highly likely they’ll give a one word answer: tones.

I regularly get asked how learners should go about learning tones so I thought this topic merited an episode in itself. On today’s podcast I’ve assembled a group of Chinese learning friends who are all at different stages of learning and have interesting insights to offer.

Hi, I’ve been studying Chinese for many years and tones were always a problem. Finally, a few years ago, I found this video and it was so helpful. Basically, English speakers already use tones but we don’t realize it.
This is a great video for beginners and anyone struggling with tones.

For anyone struggling with tones I also have this blog documenting exactly what I did to improve mine from average learner level (bad), to pretty dope in 6 months.
