Rate My Chinese! (Audio clip included)

 

[ti_audio media=”394″]

 

Last year I wrote that my Chinese pronunciation sounds like my boyfriend’s. That is because I mainly speak Chinese with him and less with other people. So this time you can actually hear how my putonghua (Mandarin Chinese) sounds like!  I know it is far from standard Mandarin because I live in Guangzhou and people around me doesn’t speak it either.

After listening please leave a comment and tell me what you think. How bad is it and did I miss all the tones? Can anyone even understand what I’m reading on the audio clip? If you have any advice how to improve my pronunciation I am more than ready to listen!
