interesting that you make challenge with more than one syllable but you include answer for other syllable too, nice, i only need to guess one tone but i try to guess other syllable, its like bonus challenge for me
I had 8 mistakes, meaning my score was 84 overall. I actually got a lower score than I thought, but that just means I have to work hard and come back to this video in the future to check how much I've improved :) Thank you Grace for the video, your "test yourself" videos are always the best :)
This was very much needed, for me! Crushed the first part, almost no problem! Second and third parts, I got most of them right. But if you did this same quiz with short sentences of 6 or more characters spoken faster, I'm sure my results would be awful. Distinguishing one tone spoken at a slow pace is easy for me, but identifying multiple tones at natural speaking speed would be tough🤯谢谢老师!
I find it most difficult to distinguish between the 2nd and 3rd tone, especially in short syllables and when a syllable ends in i, u or ü. Thank you for your effort, much appreciated.
I missed 12 so it was a 76%. My problem tone was 4, with 5 of my errors. Tone 3 errrors were 3 of ny errors. Tone 5 had 2 errors and the other two had one error each. Thanks for the video. It was insightful
Thanks, this is a very useful listening exercise! I had 7 errors, of which 6 in the three syllable section. It seems my brain is too slow to follow it then, similar to my conversation experiences. I’ll keep training!
Ugh thank you, this was very helpful. I will need to practice a lot because I don't hear the tones, I totally got the 2nd/3rd/4th tones wrong all the time I only heard the 1st tone because it sounds unnatural for my ears and the 5th tone because it sounds shorter than the rest. I wonder if musicians have an easier time because they got used to hearing the notes in music.
The practice pays off guys! At 8 months of self study and got 90%. Even after 8 months of intense listening practice, I still miss some. Don’t give up and keep studying! 加油！
@@curious5218 definitely not hopeless! when they say learning this language is a marathon, it is very true. Just find ways to stay consistent and enjoy the process! Keep going :D
Hi, Grace! I have studied mandarin language since 2 years ago and mainly I can recognize all the tones, but sometimes I confuse 3rd and neutral tone. Tú enseñas muy bien! Gracias desde Argentina 我的老师！
Only 50% for me :( I struggled with distinguishing between rising and falling tones. That seems wierd to me as they are opposites!! I will come back to this after some more time. Thank you Grace.
Wow, a new video Thanks Grace I'm new mandarin learner, about to leave pinyin to start using zhuyin, it's nice to see many other of your video that include zhuyin, i know it will need more time to make, thanks for your hard work
@@lolaloulou-oe6zq I have been listening to a lot of comprehensible input and I think I know why it is so hard. Native speakers don't really say the tones fully and clearly like in lessons. This video helped me too. They can tell the tone even with no pitch change. Just from the duration of the sound and the volume. So we are kind of taught to listen for the wrong things. Like if someone talks to a baby, that kind of speech we would understand. But full speed adult talk, we need to know it doesn't sound like the teachers do. ua-cam.com/video/eIP8yVcDZRI/v-deo.htmlsi=oMss-7YZK2ew2BuV
I got 8 wrong...Been learning Mandarin for almost 9 months, I feel like I need to do more tone drills and listen to more Chinese audios for the perfect tone recognition
7 mistakes for 86 points. Every single mistake was when I could not correctly choose 2nd tone or 3rd tone. Clearly that is where I need to work the most.
Namaste 🙏 from the sacred soil of the Indian subcontinent. I am deeply grateful for your wonderful videos-they are a treasure of knowledge and inspiration. Your work has been immensely helpful for learners like me, and I cannot thank you enough for the effort you put into creating such meaningful content. I humbly seek your guidance on something I find a bit challenging. I am here for one request ma'am. The third tone is in Mandarin. Specifically, I struggle to understand how to read sentences with two, three, or even four third tones. It would mean the world to me and many others if you could kindly create a detailed video covering all aspects of the third tone in such cases. Your kind help and expertise would be a great blessing to learners like me, and I would be forever grateful for your support. I'll be very happy for considering this request. Thank you ---
I missed 6. Would you be willing to make 1 or 2 more of these so that I can come back after I have studied more and test myself again with new material? I know making this video was probably a lot of work.
Xie xie , with first xie hiighlighted, (4) Then followed by a satisfying ding ding... But I find just the Pinyin alone is hard to figure out what word I am hearing... You may also consider getting someone to create an Grace Mandarin app with quiz like this. Green dingding or red x buzz if wrong
I got everything right but one in the single syllable section. In the double syllable section I got most wrong. Same in the three syllable section and then I gave up 😂😅 But I'm not even learning Chinese. I'm learning Japanese and I think the pitch accent in Japanese really helped me with the tones in the single syllable section.
96 points thank you so much for this! (: it felt like a listening comprehension at school XD my mistakes were: quán qiú huà (I dont know what I thought there lol) bǐ jì běn (I thought the 1st tone)
I had five mistakes, so I guess it adds up to 90. I think my difficulty with Chinese tones is the same I previously had with Latin long vowels, I am able to mechanically produce these sounds and even identify them in speech. However, and I have a really tough time associating the quality of vowels (either "longness" or tones) to words. For example, in listening I can distinguish 会 from 回 (apart from context), but in speech I have to pause and think for a moment to remember that the first is huì and the second is huí.
I did well with the first 20, though messed up on one of the 4th tone words. But when it started having multiple syllables, I struggled more with identifying the tone.
5 or maybe 6 mistakes, 2 of them in the first part (!) . most of the time mistaking 3 tone for 2 when it's in the midst of other tones, and also not confident about identifying the 5th one when it's not "zi" but some other syllable 😅 thank you🙏
This was hard , I wasn't a total failure I often got 2 out of 3 but there were a few 0s😢, I think I mix up é and é the most I've got ě and ē figured out ( don't mind the letter e )
I decided I need a more strict assessment so I counted not only the red ones, but all of them I got 95% in the first section, 70% in the second and 73% in the last one, 69,5% generally Have I counted the red ones exclusively I’d get 19/20 for the first, 11/15 for the second and third, 41/50 or 82% for all Both of those kinda disappointed me, but I’ll just keep studying and it’s gonna be alright :3
I'm a new comer and I got 26 errors 😭😂... It still hard to me when combined 3 words. I struggled on low and neutral tones. Sometimes it clear sometimes sounds like first or second tone. 😂
6 errors for a score of 88. No errors in the single syllable section, 2 errors in the double syllable section, and 4 errors in the triple syllable section. It seems like for me, the more syllables there are together the less reliable my ears are 😩. That doesn’t bode well for understanding full sentences 😵💫😵. Most of my errors were confusing 4th tone for 2nd or 3rd tone.
1 wrong🙁😩So I got 49/50 for a score of 98. I’ve always found the neutral tone to be the trickiest, but I think I can distinguish it a little better after this tone challenge. Thanks, this was fun!
hola grece ,wo xi huan ,,los tonos 1 y 3 como que parecen ,pero una gran parte acerte ,la confusion esta cuando ejemlo 4 tono lo haces corto o ligeramente alargado y se parece a tono 1.,,gonxi
I would love to see a video like this with actual words, the tone changes so much when paired together!
Yeah~ a new video for training my ears. Thank you.

I think I can safely say I'm tone deaf 😂... Been studying Mandarin for over 2 years and I still cannot distinguish the tones 😅
I'm 3 years and still tone deaf
@@shokujinki I guess it's reassuring we're not alone 🙂
Me too 😢
Happy to know I'm not alone 😂
@@EvaMariposa I think, we need to practice more. I sucks in music, maybe it's that too
7 errors! no specific tone-pair mistakes repeating, but more errors around 3rd and 4th than the others. love this practice, thank you!
Feel free to share how many you got right in the comments! 😉
Failed 5, got 45 right so a total of 90/100. Nice improvement. ❤️🙌Thank you so much for such content, love from Guangzhou.
I find it most difficult to distinguish between the 2nd and 3rd tone, especially in short syllables and when a syllable ends in i, u or ü. Thank you for your effort, much appreciated.
Yeah I sometimes can't tell if it's zhì or zhǐ.. cuz it's so damn short
A really good way to tell the third tone is to listen when the voice become lower or has slight crackle /rasp as it comes from the throat
I missed 12 so it was a 76%. My problem tone was 4, with 5 of my errors. Tone 3 errrors were 3 of ny errors. Tone 5 had 2 errors and the other two had one error each. Thanks for the video. It was insightful
I'm from Cambodia love your teaching ❤
Somehow I find 2 syllables a lot tougher than single syllables. Hopy you can have more videos like this on YT and in your future course!
我在店里试了一下我的技能。那个人困惑地看着我。我停下来说英语。我知道我会变得更好。谢谢你给我勇气。😗☺
加油！
Thanks so much for this! I got them mostly right, good to see my tone deafness is gradually decreasing. Just gotta keep practicing..
I had 12 mistakes, meaning my score was 76 overall. 您的帮助很有用。我喜欢看见新视频。太谢了，老师。

I got 31/50 and got 62 points, i did okay. I struggle the most with 2 tone and 4 tone, i hope to get better. 🙂
wow it was a lot easier than i thought. the only one i have trouble with sometimes is 1 and 5 tones
The practice pays off guys! At 8 months of self study and got 90%. Even after 8 months of intense listening practice, I still miss some. Don’t give up and keep studying! 加油！
And here I was thinking I'm hopeless for scoring 72% after watching Chinese drama for nearly two months. You gave me hope 😊

I'm so happy to hear that! Best of luck with Zhuyin and your Chinese learning journey!
Great video! Please make another video like this
I mix up the 2nd and 4th tone all the time I just can’t get it right 🙈🤷🏽♀️
2nd 4th and 5th for me. would have scored higher if I guessed 2nd every time.
me too i wanna give up why r they sooo hard to get

4 wrong. Two of them were the neutral 5th tone heard as the 4th, q14&33.
Thanks, great quiz
Wow I'm doing pretty good. I subscribed so maybe I will become fluent.
This was so helpful. Will the course include more like this?
🎉 I got 100%
I'm very good with tones, my family says it's because I'm good in music, haha.
Thank you for this video! ^.^
70 pts, the tones that I miss the most are 2 and 3, both with 5 errors. Thhe only tones I rarely miss are 1 and 5.
more like this please ;3
Thanks for the video! Do you have a video that shows one how to remember the tones of different words? I just mixed up 消费 and 小费 😅
i like the music in the end.
I missed 6. Would you be willing to make 1 or 2 more of these so that I can come back after I have studied more and test myself again with new material? I know making this video was probably a lot of work.
Thanks laoshi

26 out of 50 is correct. 😊 I have to try hard.
I got everything right but one in the single syllable section. In the double syllable section I got most wrong. Same in the three syllable section and then I gave up 😂😅
But I'm not even learning Chinese. I'm learning Japanese and I think the pitch accent in Japanese really helped me with the tones in the single syllable section.
96 points thank you so much for this! (: it felt like a listening comprehension at school XD
my mistakes were:
quán qiú huà (I dont know what I thought there lol)
bǐ jì běn (I thought the 1st tone)

I made mistakes in four questions between the fourth and third tone.😂💕I love you thank you my teacher
Nice video 😊😊 good job
Got a 90! I'd say I was probably mishearing the first tones as second tones the most.
Repeating multiple times 4th tone is where it gets too tricky
I did well with the first 20, though messed up on one of the 4th tone words.
But when it started having multiple syllables, I struggled more with identifying the tone.
Most of my mistakes were in distinguishing between tone 2 and 3. Sound so similar
5 or maybe 6 mistakes, 2 of them in the first part (!) . most of the time mistaking 3 tone for 2 when it's in the midst of other tones, and also not confident about identifying the 5th one when it's not "zi" but some other syllable 😅
thank you🙏
wow, I really struggle with differentiating the 2nd tone and the 4th tone 😓
I had 8 mistakes. Most of them were 3rd & 5th tones.
I will perfect this!
This was hard , I wasn't a total failure I often got 2 out of 3 but there were a few 0s😢, I think I mix up é and é the most I've got ě and ē figured out ( don't mind the letter e )
5/20 on single syllable 😔
retook it now 9/20 :D didnt even realize it was the same video xd
I scored 82 (2 months studying mandarim).
I got 46/50 😊
7:28 別針..are you telling the bee not to sting? "Safety pin" is a new vocabulary for me
😂那樣的話，我會說「別叮！」
25 :( I make mistakes with the combinations. Thanks for the video
Been learning mandarin for exactly one day, my score is 54. I was doing good at first 😅
had no problems with the single syllables, but once multiple syllables came in it was a bloodbath 😭. any tips for this? just more listening?
49/50.. 放鬆的鬆我回答了「2」。我真的不知道為什麼，第二次聽後我就覺得滿清楚了
喔！。對了，「想法」這個詞，人沒有認識這個詞的話，只使用聽力分別，他們怎麼正地聽得確分別「想」的聲調？🤔
The hardest tones was 3rd and 2nd tones.
37/50, most difficult for me is the 4th tone in this test. I have been learning for 300 days now
80% (10 errors)
I made two specific mistakes the most.
Four times, I heard the 2nd tone as the 3rd.
Four times, I heard the 4th tone as the 1st.
I got 100 YAY🎉🎉🎉
saludos desde lima peru
47/50 Neutral tones ahhhhh
I decided I need a more strict assessment so I counted not only the red ones, but all of them
I got 95% in the first section, 70% in the second and 73% in the last one, 69,5% generally
Have I counted the red ones exclusively I’d get 19/20 for the first, 11/15 for the second and third, 41/50 or 82% for all
Both of those kinda disappointed me, but I’ll just keep studying and it’s gonna be alright :3
18 misstakes... oh, i am a looser. Very helpfull video. Thank you!
30/50 😢😢
im having trouble with 2 and 4. i can hear 1, 3, 5 most of the time and i got better at 4 in the three syllable ones but i cant hear 2 at all
me too idk how i can say it or master it idk what to do i want to learn chinese but chinese isn't letting me
I'm a new comer and I got 26 errors 😭😂... It still hard to me when combined 3 words. I struggled on low and neutral tones. Sometimes it clear sometimes sounds like first or second tone. 😂
Get 25 right answers 😂. Mostly confused the 1st and the 2 nd tones 😂
👍👍👍❤️🌷

Wow only 1 wrong! Almost perfect!! 🥳
ok might be a silly question but is the tone only for the letter or is it for the whole syllable??
88%
2nd tone in 2 or 3 syllables is the most challenhing🤷♂️
76 percent haha not bad but not good
Got 4 mistakes, most of them being 2 tone, because it sometimes sounds a bit as third tone
hola grece ,wo xi huan ,,los tonos 1 y 3 como que parecen ,pero una gran parte acerte ,la confusion esta cuando ejemlo 4 tono lo haces corto o ligeramente alargado y se parece a tono 1.,,gonxi
I made mistakes mainly on 2nd tone for 3rd or 4th tone... This is difficult.
But I got 42/50!
That's pretty nice! Keep it up! 💪
I got 78%
Too bad
I did 5 mistakes, 3rd tone is impossible sometimes😅
Why the 8th question is not the 2nd tone?
Scored 70, 15 errors😩 3rd tone is so confusing.
96分，都是把第二和第三声调搞混😅
9個猜錯了😯
我分不开第一和第四的声调。 老师，怎么办？😢
I had 3 mistakes only
how many Chinese learners here, Hello guys
你好👋
tone 2 is too similar to 3 to my ears. but also tone 3 is too similar to 4. and also tone 4 is too similar to neutral tone!
The neutral tone... 我靠
