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:

• Take 你好: written nǐ hǎo, but spoken as ní hǎo because of this rule.
• 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 Worcester is around £31/h per hour.

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

The complete list from one to ten:

• 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).
