Yes! I’ve made a Public Video Pledge for the 2014 New Year’s Language Challenge Chinese tones are not easy at all! It's like you're singing some complicated melody! And mwhen y teacher and language partners correct me, I can't hear the difference between right and wrong way to pronounce the phrase! :D Anyway, I am sure I just need to practice some more. I am also used that people laugh when they hear my Chinese! That's fine, I don't mind :) In my video I speak about my goal for the 2014 New Year’s Language Challenge: http://youtu.be/RQYZ8JWblcY Great idea italki! Your marketing team is doing a great job!

<em>[Very good.  I'm studying Chinese, and there's always the danger of the phrase "Where is the train station?" being translated as "You look like an ape." if you get the tones wrong.  I'm getting better, though.]</em>
