It's possible you're getting confused over a tone change rule. When two third tone words come one after the other in a sentence, the first third tone word is pronounced as a second tone. For instance, in the phrase "他也有。。。“ ,也 will be pronounced as a rising second tone even though it's "officially" a third tone. The rule also applies if we string together three or more third tones. All of them except the last become second tones when spoken. Quite confusing!

Does anyone have a link to the Simplified vs. Traditional video that Grace mentions at the beginning of the lesson? I've searched for it but can't seem to find it. Much appreciated!
