ai_ya Posted August 12, 2007 at 10:33 PM Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 at 10:33 PM Hello, my name is David, I'm from the UK and I'm 18 years old. I've been learning Chinese for a few years now, and I am going to attend university in Dalian next week. I would like people to criticise my accent - what's good and bad about it, and how I could improve. I just read a silly story that I found - didn't want to read anything too serious. Thanks ! m456.wav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semantic nuance Posted August 13, 2007 at 02:24 AM Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 at 02:24 AM Well done! I notice 2 words that I think you can work more on them: 1. 突然一隻小猴子喊起來:不好了.... You sound to prounce it between the first and the second tone. It should be the 3rd tone. 2. 月亮掉到井裡了. 大猴子一看也叫了起來:不好了! 月亮真地掉到井裡了...You prounce it as 'yao4', but it should be 'dao4'. I believe you know their pronunciations but read them off the tone out of nervousness. Good job! Keep going!! Hope it helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
