 I've just seen this question. The word antigen-antibody complex is 抗原抗体複合物 ;)

I think this is just a bad habit of mine. While this is not the standard way, with the various dialects in China you may actually encounter native speakers that do similar or worse(!) things to 卷舌音 zh, ch, sh, r (you should probably not copy that though :P). Pronunciation is definitely not a breeze, but with practice, fun and curiosity its manageable to get to a level, where you feel confident to just speak. You must have a fairly good ear already by the way! Keep up the good work!

Yeah, even with nailing it over and over in practice, once you speak sometimes it gets out a little bit different. I do feel in a conversation it is better to keep flow than to stop speaking (not reading by the way ^^) because one is unsure about their tones. It could be even encouraging for students to see that language does not have to be perfect to successfully convey messages. However, I will practice my tones more and more, until even a native cannot tell the difference anymore. Stay tuned ;)

I think "broken" must be the cutest way to describe my little quirks. Glad that you like it! :)
