April 26, 2017, 03:26 AMHello, Thank you so much for the nice and entertaining lessons. I have a question for you. Why, at 5:49, when you say 你说说你有什么理由, the 有sounds like it is second tone?

October 26, 2015, 02:26 AMCould it be that Fionna caught a bit of Taiwanese accent? At 6:42, I hear you saying 法国 with 4th "fa" tone instead of 3rd tone. Am I right?

September 26, 2014, 03:54 PMfor the first 800 characters, i used "learning chinese characters" book by Matthews. they use mnemotecnic stories for pronounciation/meaning. it looks kind of silly at first but you eventually remember the 汉字 without even thinking about the stories.

May 03, 2017, 10:21 PMThanks! That explains why I heard "yóu shěnme" in a movie as well. Are there other words that change tones when they are emphasized?
