Learn Chinese Online Free

Over the last couple years I have put time into learning Spanish, Russian, and recently Chinese. You are by far, the best teacher because how you repeat and use gestures to stress proper emphasis. Computer programs and books don’t work well since they assume one knows pronunciation just because of a squiggle above one of the letters. Further, by you repeating the word, which many on-line teachers don’t do, you build confidence in your students who can easily be misled. For example there was one Russian teacher who mumbled a word, but I kept replaying his poorly recorded one-time use of that word. Later, a group of Russians and Ukrainians told me I was saying it wrong. Please keep teaching, your method is great. Would you please discuss the basic use of tone rising/lowering in Chinese? What I mean is, I was told by a couple people that, in Chinese, the same word has multiple meanings if one uses different tones/emphasis. If this is true, I’m worried I might offend a Chinese person if I stress the wrong emphasis/tone in a word. Perhaps I will be swearing unintentionally? [By the way there is a spelling error on your Youtube page: "I'm hear to teach you Mandarin Chinese at http://www.freechineseblog.com! " Here vs. hear. I know its just an oversight, but since you are helping me, I thought I would return a token of appreciation.]
