Advice:

These exercises can be used for the following purposes:

Fluency

Listen and repeat loudly following the exact rhythm and tones as you would learning a song. Practise over and over till you are fluent following the method done in class. If you have problems with the sound/tone combination, start by pronouncing each syllable slowly and clearly before joining them together with increasing speed.
Memory
Test and strengthen your memory by translating any word/sentence into Chinese, and saying it out loud. Then listen and repeat loudly to improve your pronunciation (Repeat till you are fluent). Repeat the exercise after a while till you can translate instantly.
Pinyin
Pinyin is an essential tools in good pronunciation. What you cannot hear, you cannot spell. And what you cannot spell, you cannot pronouce accurately.
Listen to the audio and write down the pinyin to train your hearing (sound differentiation) and check the handouts for correct pinyin. If you have a lot of problems spelling, use the Pinyin Table to learn pronunciation and pinyin for all the syllables.
Practise Respond
Answer a question or respond to a statement where possible.

Studietips:

Zing alles na!
Dus niet alleen maar nazeggen, maar hardop nazingen, zodat u vertrouwd raakt met de melodie van de taal. Als u oefent met luide stem en met overdreven intonatie, leert u het nog sneller.
