First of all, you need to <strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-color\">identify<\/span><\/strong> which Chinese words you are always pronouncing with difficulties. You may struggle with the four Chinese tones. Then find a tongue twister which contains these particular Chinese pronunciations. <br><br>2. You can make a start at a low speed. Don\u2019t worry about the fluency at the very beginning but do pay attention to the <strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-color\">accuracy<\/span><\/strong> of your pronunciation. During the process, you must correct your pronunciation at the moment you notice it is incorrect, otherwise, it could be very hard to get rid of your wrong pronunciation later on.<br><br>3. Once you have an accurate pronunciation, repeat the tongue twister every day. Squeeze out 10 minutes every day, after dinner, before bedtime, whenever you want. You may account it into your schedule in a fixed time so that you can set up a habit. <strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-color\">Practice<\/span><\/strong> makes perfect. <br><br>4. <strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-color\">Take you time<\/span><\/strong>, \u201c<strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-color\">\u5fc3\u6025\u5403\u4e0d\u4e86\u70ed\u8c46\u8150<\/span><\/strong>\u201d (<strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-accent-color\">x\u012bn j\u00ed ch\u012b b\u00fa li\u01ceo r\u00e8 d\u00f2u fu<\/span><\/strong>, the direct translation is \u201cdo not hurry up, otherwise you cannot eat hot tofu\u201d, which means be patient, otherwise you will not have a good outcome.
