Find a Chinese tutor near you in Audenshaw

Mandarin has four main tones, and when two third tones appear in a row, the first one shifts to a second tone.

The rule applies like this:

• When you say "hello" in Chinese, 你好 shifts from 3-3 to 2-3 automatically.
• Words like 可以 (kěyǐ) also shift: the first tone rises to make pronunciation smoother.
• Ignoring tone sandhi makes speech choppy, which is why practising this early matters.

This phonetic shortcut makes Mandarin flow better and is essential for sounding natural.

The average price for a Chinese lesson in Audenshaw is around £18/h per hour.

What affects the cost:

• Beginner, intermediate, or advanced courses each have different pricing
• Your teacher's background, including certifications and years of experience
• The choice between face-to-face, online, or hybrid learning
• Booking multiple lessons upfront often lowers the per-hour cost

Some teachers provide discounted bundles, which can make long-term learning more affordable.

Chinese numbers 1-10 each have a single character and a distinct tone, making them straightforward to memorise.

Each number, character, and pronunciation:

• 1-3: 一 yī, 二 èr, 三 sān
• Four is 四 (sì), five is 五 (wǔ), six is 六 (liù)
• 7-10: 七 qī, 八 bā, 九 jiǔ, 十 shí

Once you know 1-10, larger numbers follow a logical pattern: 11 is 十一 (shí yī), 20 is 二十 (èr shí).

These ten numerals unlock prices, dates, phone numbers, and ages in everyday conversation.
