  1. Tones Review / 四声复习 As you know and we have discussed many times, accurate tones are extremely important in Chinese. The ability to pronounce tones correctly, and to distinguish them when you hear them, makes the difference between okay Chinese and good Chinese. Work through this presentation to review and tune up your tones.

  2. Tones Review / 四声复习 Standards This review and exercise falls under the ACTFLStandards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21stCentury: Use the language to engage in interpersonal communication.

  4. Tones Review / 四声复习 There are 4 tones in Mandarin, plus a neutral tone. When writing pinyin, we can represent the tones in one of two ways, either with a number or with a diacritical mark, as follows: 高 gāo gao1 1st tone 忙 máng mang2 2nd tone 好 hǎo hao3 3rd tone 累 lèi lei4 4th tone 吗 ma ma neutral (Note that neutral tone is sometimes written as ma5.)

  5. Tones Review / 四声复习 One way of thinking about the sounds of the four tones is by using the English exclamation “man”: First tone, a high and even tone:  Oh, mān, why did you do that?!?! Second tone, a rising tone, as in a question: What did you see, mán?  Third tone, a flat, dipping tone:  Come on, mǎn, you can do it!  Fourth tone, a falling exclamation: Màn, is that hot!

  6. Tones Review / 四声复习 Let’s remind ourselves of what each of the tones sounds like: 高 gāo gao1 1st tone 忙 máng mang2 2nd tone 好 hǎo hao3 3rd tone 累 lèi lei4 4th tone

  7. Tones Review / 四声复习 If we want to represent the 4 tones visually, they might look something like this:

  8. Tones Review / 四声复习 Let’s see if we can hear the differences between the 4 tones. 1st tone 2nd tone 3rd tone 4th tone

  9. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。 Think about the shape or direction of the tone, and then think about the four pictures.

  10. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  11. Tones Review / 四声复习 Let’s try another one: 1st tone 2nd tone 3rd tone 4th tone

  12. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。 Think about the shape or direction of the tone, and then think about the four pictures.

  13. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  14. Tones Review / 四声复习 Let’s try another one: 1st tone 2nd tone 3rd tone 4th tone

  15. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。 Think about the shape or direction of the tone, and then think about the four pictures.

  16. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  17. Tones Review / 四声复习 Let’s try one more: 1st tone 2nd tone 3rd tone 4th tone

  18. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。 Think about the shape or direction of the tone, and then think about the four pictures.

  19. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  20. Tones Review / 四声复习 Before we look at tone combinations, let’s review tone changes. We have learned that certain tone combinations result in a change in the way they are pronounced. How are two third tones in a row pronounced? Click on the correct answer. Q1: 你好。 nǐhǎo 1) nǐ hǎo2) nǐ háo 3) ní hǎo4) ní háo

  21. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。 Think about what would make it easier to pronounce.

  22. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  23. Tones Review / 四声复习 Sometimes we have a string of tones together. How are three third tones in a row pronounced? Click on the correct answer. Q2: 我很好。wǒhěnhǎo 1) wǒ hěn hǎo2) wó hěn hǎo 3) wó hén hǎo4) wǒ hén hǎo

  24. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。 Again, think about what is going to make this combination easier to pronounce, and about the two third tones together.

  25. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  26. Tones Review / 四声复习 Rules: When two third tones occur together, the first changes to second tone. When three third tones occur together, we have two pairs of two third tones. We can resolve both if the second one changes to second tone.

  27. Tones Review / 四声复习 We have learned that 不bù changes tone when followed by characters with a certain tone. How does 不bù changewhen followed by another 4th tone? Click on the correct answer. Q1: 不是。 bùshì 1) bùshì2) búshì 3) būshì4) bǔshì

  28. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。 Think about what would make the combination more natural.

  29. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  30. Tones Review / 四声复习 How does 不bù changewhen followed by a 3rd tone? Click on the correct answer. Q2: 不好。 bùhǎo 1) bùhǎo2) búhǎo 3) būhǎo4) bǔhǎo

  31. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。 (This is a trick question!)

  32. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  33. Tones Review / 四声复习 Rule: When 不 bùis followed by another fourth tone, it changes to a second tone. Otherwise it does not change.

  34. Tones Review / 四声复习 We have learned that 一yī changes depending on the tone of the character that follows it. How does 一yī changewhen followed by another 1st tone? Click on the correct answer. Q2: 一张 yīzhāng 1) yīzhāng2) yízhāng 3) yǐzhāng4) yìzhāng

  35. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。 This one you just have to remember.

  36. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  37. Tones Review / 四声复习 How does 一yī changewhen followed by a 2nd tone? Click on the correct answer. Q2: 一毛 yīmáo 1) yīmáo2) yímáo 3) yǐmáo4) yìmáo

  38. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。 This is kind of like the opposite of the 不 rule.

  39. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  40. Tones Review / 四声复习 How does 一yī changewhen followed by a 3rd tone? Click on the correct answer. Q2: 一起 yīqǐ 1) yīqǐ2) yíqǐ 3) yǐqǐ4) yìqǐ

  41. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。

  42. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  43. Tones Review / 四声复习 How does 一yī changewhen followed by a 4th tone? Click on the correct answer. Q4: 一块 yīkuài 1) yīkuài2) yíkuài 3) yǐkuài4) yìkuài

  44. Tones Review / 四声复习 不对。再来一遍。 This change is similar to that with 不.

  45. Tones Review / 四声复习 对。非常好!

  46. Tones Review / 四声复习 Rules: When 一yīis followed by a fourth tone, it changes to second tone. When 一yī is followed by a first, second, or third tone, it changes to fourth tone. When 一yī is used in counting, or when it occurs at the end of the word, it remains first tone.

  47. Tones Review / 四声复习 Let’s review what the various combinations sound like. Click on the combinations below that you are unsure about, or review them all. When you are ready to test yourself, click on the forward arrow. 1 1 1 2 1 3 1 4 1 5 2 1 2 2 2 3 2 4 2 5 3 1 3 2 3 3 3 4 3 5 4 1 4 2 4 3 4 4 4 5 Important note: After viewing a video, close the video window to return here, but note that you may have to go find the Powerpoint icon to open the presentation again.

  48. Tones Review / 四声复习 Now that you can distinguish between the 4 tones, and we’ve reviewed the tone changes and listened to combinations, let’s see whether we can distinguish tone combinations, which is how we normally encounter tones. Remember that there are 20 combinations of two tones: four possibilities for the first, and five for the second (including the neutral tone). On each screen, click on the icon to hear as many times as you need to, then choose the correct combination.
