One of the first pronunciation rules to master in Mandarin is the third tone sandhi.

• Tone sandhi: if two consecutive syllables both carry a third tone, the first shifts to a rising tone.
• Common case: 你好 (nǐ hǎo) is actually pronounced ní hǎo in natural speech.
• Other examples: 很好 (hěn hǎo) becomes hén hǎo, meaning "very good".
• Why it matters: 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.

• Practice characters regularly: start with the most common 100–200 characters and learn their radicals for easier recognition.
• Immerse yourself daily: watch Chinese shows with subtitles, listen to podcasts, and change your phone language to Mandarin.
