From my Chinese language learning blog from last year: http://www.sayitrightchinese.com/search/label/Mispronouncing%20Mandarin Here is the home page for the blog itself: http://www.sayitrightchinese.com And here is the section for your class, in reverse chronological order with the most recent entry on top (from this past January, when I needed to take a break from teaching for ALESN because of work obligations): http://www.sayitrightchinese.com/search/label/Mandarin%20I%20ALESN%202017-2018 If you scroll down and keep clicking "older posts" -- or if you look to the right side of the screen and scroll down and select the earliest 2017 postings in the Mandarin I category, you can read all of last year's entries that will correspond with everything that I am going to teach you between now and the end of January/beginning of February 2019. At that point, I will most likely pick up where I left off and write brand new blog entries for the rest of the academic year, covering the additional material in our book. Best wishes to all and see you in 2 weeks, Brendan
