Find a Chinese tutor near you in Broxbourne

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

This is the pattern:

• When you say "hello" in Chinese, 你好 shifts from 3-3 to 2-3 automatically.
• This also affects 小姐 (xiǎojiě), which sounds like "xiáojiě" in conversation.
• Mastering this rule helps your Mandarin sound more fluent and less robotic.

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

The average price for a Chinese lesson in Broxbourne is around £30/h per hour.

• 4-6: 四 sì, 五 wǔ, 六 liù
• Seven is 七 (qī), eight is 八 (bā), nine is 九 (jiǔ), ten is 十 (shí)
