Today I figured I would give a quick introductory lesson to Chinese tones (complete with audio)! (you can also check out my next lesson on pinyin to finish learning about Chinese pronunciation here)
Mandarin Chinese has 4 tones (and a 5th, neutral tone). Many English speakers find speaking with tones (and especially hearing them) to be one of the harder parts of Chinese language learning.
Great post on Chinese tones
