Different tones, different meanings Hello everyone! I started to learn Chinese more seriously this week, but gosh! it's so hard! Learning some words or the grammar seems pretty easy. The thing is, the pronunciation is tough. What I want to say is that one single word can have a lot of meanings. For exemple, "ma" means mother, hemp, horse or scold, it depends on the tone of your voice. To all my Chinese poeple, please don't let me down X'D I'm motivated but since I'm just a beginner, I really need your help. I'll work hard! I promise hahaha!
