How to become a good mandarin speaker. If you want to be good mandarin speaker, I recommend you learn bopomofo, Especially specific pronunciation and tone,For example ㄤ ㄖ ㄠ. This way would let you understand what are they want to talk about and people understand what are you want to talk about. Also you will not remember the wrong word. For example 吸管Straw、喜歡like、習慣habit (you can use translation listen these tone pronunciation) I have once experience, I didn't understand what my partner what to say and my partner can't understand me to. Because my partner did not learn pinyin. I thought learning mandarin must to learn important bopomofo is "ㄓ、ㄗ、ㄔ、ㄘ、ㄕ、ㄙ、ㄖ、ㄩ、ㄠ" Google can not say bopomofo so I type same word you can try this "之資吃疵師斯日(most slimilar with ㄖ)淤凹" Tone is very important too. Chinese four(四) and ten(十) is very similar, they are different tone. Four is fourth tone and ten is second tone. My language partner told me that he went to 八方雲集(Taiwanese dumpling restaurant) want to order ten of dumpling, he got a big mistake. When he came back to home and opened the package, He discovered he was wrong figures. He just order four dumpling, and he is very hungry. I teach him 四十十四十四四十 forty, fourteen, fourteen, forty. It is very useful for him, cause he never order the wrong figures of dumpling. So if you want to learn Chinese, you can dabble a little about this area of bopomofo. 如何成為一個中文說得很好的人 如果你想成為中文說得很好的人，我建議你可以學拼音。 特別是特殊的發音，像是ㄤㄖㄠ。 如此一來，可以讓你更能理解別人想說什麼，也能讓別人聽懂你想說什麼。 而且也可以幫助你部會記錯單字。 例如，吸管、喜歡、習慣。(你可以用谷歌小姐發音聽聽看差別) 我有一次，我聽不懂我的語言交換夥伴在說什麼，而且他也聽不懂我到底在說什麼。 因為他沒有學拼音。 我認為學中文一定要知道的重要拼音是ㄓ、ㄗ、ㄔ、ㄘ、ㄕ、ㄙ、ㄖ、ㄩ、ㄠ。 (谷歌小姐不會說注音，所以我打相同的字你可以試試看"之資吃疵師斯日(這個是最接近ㄖ的)淤凹" 聲調也非常重要。 中文的四跟十非常像，但他們不同聲調。 四是四聲、十是二聲。 我的夥伴告訴我她去八方雲集想要買十個煎餃，但他犯了一個錯誤。 當他回到家打開才發現，他只點了四個煎餃，他真的餓壞了。 於是我教他四時十四十四四十，這對他來說非常有用，他後來就再也沒點錯餃子的數量了。 所以如果你想要學好中文，就可以稍微涉獵一下注音這塊領域。
