The 3-3 rule is one of the most important pronunciation rules in Mandarin Chinese.

• The rule: when two third tones appear in a row, the first one changes to a second (rising) tone.
• Common case: 你好 (nǐ hǎo) is actually pronounced ní hǎo in natural speech.
• Further illustrations: 很好 (hěn hǎo) becomes hén hǎo, meaning "very good".
• Real impact: native speakers apply this rule automatically, so mastering it helps you sound natural.

An experienced Chinese tutor will correct your tones in real time so you improve faster.
