In decades, most foreigners learn Chinese pronunciation by reading PinYin, in result most of them speak Chinese in English tones.
Since PinYin is written in English letters, so foreign students read PinYin in English tones.
Speaking directly from Chinese words can produce different results.
In recent Chinese teaching experience with a new method, after 10 hours of 50 words pronunciation training, foreign Chinese students can speak Chinese with native tones.
The new teaching method is called HeChinese, which has 3 main steps:
Step 1: To master Chinese writing & typing through HeChinese coding system in 4~6 hours for adults.
Step 2: Speaking directly from Chinese words, creating a new and independent Chinese pronunciation system in 10 hours 50 words.
Step 3: By reciting short sentences to remember the sounds and meanings of words.
In step 2 & 3, students will learn Chinese reading by studying text book "HeBook1" lesson by lesson, there are 25 lessons in HeBook1.
Each lesson includes 10~12 new words, 15 phrases, and 1 dialogue, students need to write, type, and pronounce these words & phrases, remember their meaning, and recite a short sentence like "一二三四五，你我他她们" in lesson one.
At beginning, speaking each Chinese sound is a difficult task for foreigners, since each sound needs a new pronouncing mechanism, each pronouncing mechanism requires many times of practice to form.
In Chinese, normally every word's sound is combined with 1 initial and 1 final sound, there are only 23 initials and 24 finals in Chinese pronunciation system.
So by practicing 50 words sounds, student can practice 50 initials and 50 finals, which roughly cover 23 initials and 24 finials twice. Then almost every Chinese pronouncing mechanism will been practiced twice, after these 50 words study, Chinese pronunciation will become easier and easier.
With intensive training, all foreign students can pronounce these new sounds, and can gradually build up a new & independent Chinese pronunciation system.
