Course Syllabus 课程章节
1The four tones in Chinese represent variations in pitch. This lesson will introduce a special approach to aid pronunciation: head-hand method. Based on the coordination of the head and the hand, the third-degree tone, one of the 5 pitches in the Chinese language, is produced and the pitch range properly set, and accuracy in the pronunciation of the four tones is therefore achieved. Also examples are used to illustrate the features of T3 Sandhi to assist learners in overcoming off-key T3 Sandhi and in improving accuracy and fluency in expression.
汉语的四个声调是音高变化的不同类型。本课将介绍一种独特的发音辅助方法——头手法,利用头和手的配合确定汉语声调五度音高中的3度音高,并确定五度音高范围,从而准确地发出汉语的四个声调。同时,我们将结合实例介绍语流中三声变调的特征,引导学习者自主克服“三声”变调定位不准的困难,增强学习者的语言表达的准确性和流畅度。
