I'm taking Chinese for one of my college classes this year and when I am reviewing, I forget how to pronounce some of the words. I'm glad I took up my fiance's suggestion on looking up some videos on youtube. Your videos have been the best I've seen and listened to; there's no feedback like some videos I've viewed and you speak very clearly. Awesome job!

I plan to retire in Singapore, and wondered if the Chinese spoken there is similar to the Mandarin dialect. Thanks, gracias, grazie, mercie and xiexie. David:

I have to say that your madarin is amazingly good :) You've got talents and motivation :) However, please allow me to remind you two trivial things: Your pronunced the third tone in Madarin a little bit too high-pitched; you might have to lower "your yo-yo" a bit (the imagery you used). The second thing is that what you are using is "ping-ying", a phoetic system (only used in China) of Madarin. And that system is not 100% percent accurate. For example, the Chinese "b" is more like "p" in Spanish than "b" in English, though the difference is somewhat too subtle that you don't even have to notice. Anyway, you've done a great job and as a native-speaker who's interested in teaching Madarin, I'm really impressed and amazed :) Madarin is my mother tongue, well.. and…
