It's not just a matter of making mistakes but being used to hearing a wide variety of accents and levels of language. I live in London and have lots of foreign friends from around the world so over time I became much better at understanding their broken English. I think the brain needs some time to get accustomed to the guesswork it makes. Meanwhile, Chinese almost exclusively listen to native speakers who don't make tonal mistakes, only mistakes with phonetics.

@willy123096

@@cbrtdgh4210 Actually, I want to present a different point of view to this. Native speakers of Chinese actually are used to tonal mistakes. Most Native Chinese speakers will be able to distinguish slight differences in Chinese pronunciation (For example, Northern and Southern pronouncing styles). I mean we have to remember, Chinese is a group of languages, meaning most people grow up with different regional dialects. There are also cases where some words get their tones changed intentionally in certain sentences to make speaking easier (to eliminate some awkward sounds that can't be easily said in a hurry). What we really call broken Chinese is not the slight differences but the big differences. It also makes a difference if you used the wrong tone and there's no word in that tone vs. there's a word in that tone. I think this is important to understand. There is no "perfect" Chinese. It's a matter of getting close enough to the actual language so that most people understand without much trouble. So what I'm trying to say is we understand Mark because his is not exactly broken. There have been errors in his pronunciation, which will be awesome if he can correct, but it's decently conversational. I think it will be a mistake if we don't consider Mark at least trying. I just find people laughing at his "robot" voice a bit....insensitive.

@@willy123096 I was always told by my Chinese friends that they don't make tonal mistakes, only phonetic. If they're speaking with different tones then it's a different dialect of Mandarin? One example I'll never forget is when I asked about the subway station at a hotel reception in Shanghai. No matter how many times I said "ditiezhan" she refused to understand me! I assume it was because of my tone mistakes. I found it incredible because there are no other word(s) in Chinese that correspond to dietiezhan.

@willy123096

Well, I will probably say they just probably don't notice the small mistakes they make. But my point is they will still be considered native speakers. It is not really about a different dialect but the "imperfections" between even native speakers that still make them fall in the native catergory. There are some mistakes that are more "forgiving" is what I mean and it only becomes a problem when multiple mistakes stack upon each other, or you make a mistake so bad that it sounds like another word. I mean the creator of this video has valid points that I agree on but I feel like people shouldn't only be focused on tonal mistakes only because you don't have to be exact even among native speakers to be understood. A video to show what I mean about slight speaking pattern differences: kzread.info/dash/bejne/rJqCxNNso8KbYdI.html In that video, you will find that there are differences in how we speak, but we will still call them native speakers. To "sound like a native" the most important thing is probably to understand the culture and how China has a diverse amount of regional cultures. The "perfect" Mandarin just has to be close enough to other Mandarin speakers that allows understanding.

I find a main problem with foreigners is the voicing of b g and d sounds. its in terms of ipa, p, k and t unaspirated not b, g and d voiced. I dont seem that affected by foreigners not getting tones and some hard sounds like x right, but it makes me squirm when they voice such consonants. Same thing in Spanish and a lot of other languages, they pronounce the t aspirated instead of unaspirated, leaving a very american accented sound.

On the contrary, it's extremely important to get it correct as a beginner, as early as possible. Not the other way around - learning intonation later on is like trying to unlearn bad habits. You are essentially saying different words with the incorrect intonation. In the long term, it's a lot more simple to learn the intonation correctly the first time around. Just some perspective from an Australian who travels to Taiwan!

Western languages work completely different an all levels, including intonation of words and their respective roles in a sentence. Unlearning this is very difficult and becomes more difficult the older you get. It's a challenge for kids already, who have to adopt a new language . but they can handle it well as long as they live in an environment that constantly uses the foreign language.

I’ve been at it since 2005, when I met my now wife. We’ve mostly spoken Mandarin at home, although she’s picking up the pace on her English study now. Anyway, I wanted to mention that, although I had an immediate need just to learn Mandarin speaking and listening only, I regret that my reading and writing (i.e., the real writing - 汉子) has lagged quite a bit. My Character knowledge is “fair,” yes, but not nearly as good as my speaking. So, my advice: Unless you have an urgent need to learn speaking only, as I did, don’t put off the “hard work” of learning 汉子 for too long. It’s just too critically fundamental to understanding the language and the culture!

How have I learned Chinese for 3 years and I’ve never known about changing pitch reflect intonation?! While I probably do some of these subconsciously, it’s really cool to know this is a thing in chinese!

Yes. Almost like that

I always wondered about the inconsistencies in native speakers' intonation. Whenever I speak with level tones I always get told I sound unnatural. These minor variations make a big difference. Thanks for explaining this ✌🏻😊

When chinese tones also have tones my worst nightmare come true 😂

I always thought Chinese is mad for the tones and how you can even reproduce them so quickly, then I realised that English has an equivalent - word stress - so I thought it can’t be so bad after all. Chinese speakers would often speak English in a clipped way, because that’s how you do the Chinese syllables. And here it’s the opposite; Mark speaks Chinese with English characteristics i.e. stresses and variations in pitch which don’t belong in Chinese. Good teacher!

This can't be, how can he make a mistake we perfected his software years ago. Back to the drawing board

To the 同学 reading this, Don't let fears of pronunciation prevent you from speaking! To be fair, many of the things Grace老师 is telling us are fine-tuning details. You will mostly still be understood even if your tones are bad. You should absolutely practice tones! It is incredibly helpful for making Chinese counterparts less confused when you speak! However, you will still be understood, even if you make some tone mistakes; just like how Grace老师 and I both could understand most of what Mark was saying. 😁 Grace老师 did a great job detailing common tone mistakes from Mandarin learners though!

There're decent KZreadrs such as Jared, Kevin in Shanghai, and Mandarin Corner, but they don't really teach the specific part about similarities and differences...I would suggest you to find online teachers who are native speakers, or get an HSK textbook and find a professional if you're looking for jobs that require Chinese. The starting point is really hard, especially when there're no references you can find from Chinese to English. I learned English and French by hiring teachers and I spent hours every day to memorize all the vocabularies. Sorry I can't really give the solution for your concerns, because I grew up with Mandarin, and Chinese the language is sooooooo character-based.

@@ginalentil3557 Well, but speaking of tones, don't watch those TV shows because they tend to speak way too fast and "informal". You can start with cartoons like 天线宝宝（Teletubbies) and 小猪佩奇（Peppa Pig). The four tones: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2SklKOBdJzOnag.html A little more advanced: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4GftK5sY8Wvk5s.html

Chinese really is a singing language! I see myself here: I always make mistakes with the tones. I had not realized it can happen a lot because of the intonation. This was super helpful. Thanks for the great video!

I found this videi really helpful and interesting because I really think we can all learn from those mistakes😉

What in God's name am I doing here, I'm trying to learn Russian.

If u need any help,tell me))

Chinese is easy to learn, it is a simple language; the characters are the only complex trait. The grammar is informal and simplistic, It is hard to formally define a sentence and command or statement using Chinese because the language itself is what we call "Child's tongue" , only 2000 words are used on average by ethnic mainland chinese, In English we use 30,000 to 40,000 and German is significant higher. Do not be afraid of learning mandarin chinese , there are good language studies packages in Taiwan, you can get a working holiday Visa and go over there to learn whilst working part time or pay £400 to study at a mainland university. Albeit one uses traditional chinese character form (中華民國的普通話) and the other uses simplified Chinese (共产党的中国话). So good luck and have fun. 加油 You don't have to align political opinions with mainland officials or the communist party to appreciate real Chinese culture and history , because true chinese culture and history has always been there without the party, especially when China was submitted in to a Republic by Sun Yat Sen (before the Imperial Japanese Force invaded), the best chinese books to read is the 三民主义 doctrines and lectures, they are a true native production of Chinese politics, an inspiring chinese philosophy.

That's utter nonsense. Only highly educated people know more than 20k words, even then it doesn't put indo-european languages above chinese because most of these would be either archaic or technical vocabulary, which in any language could get arbitrarily large. Chinese characters shouldn't be thought as words because they aren't. You may very well recognize every character in a sentence and yet make no sense of it because characters are actually flexible building blocks that can be put together to increase information, just as suffixes and prefixes, but in the chinese fashion.

You are a very very clear teacher, thank you!

Thanks for the incredible video

Never mind me, I'm not here to learn Chinese, just for this cute teacher

他说话的方式其实让我笑起来。
