Are You Plagued by the Most Common Pronunciation Issues?
We know what pronunciation struggles elementary learners faced. We’ve created the Chinese Pronunciation Wiki to help learners everywhere, but sometimes there’s simply no substitute for direct feedback. This test is at the A2 (elementary) level, so it covers both tricky consonants and vowels as well as tones.
Sounds the A2 (Elementary) Pronunciation Test covers:
Tough Sounds (basic): c-, z-, s-sh-, c-ch-, z-zh-, x-sh-, q-ch-, j-zh-, r-, -an-ang, -e, -ou-uo, -ü-u, -un
Tone Change Rules: consecutive third tones, 不 (bù), and 一 (yī)
In a combination of simple reading and speaking exercises, we do an analysis of which A2 issues a learner needs to pay attention to.
