Tone police video
I just stumbled across the 6th video from Chinese Pod, called The Tone Police. It is quite funny in a corny way, and might help some of you understand why Chinese tones make the language so difficult. The music video about half way through is hilarious!

AJ- Very funny – I can’t even get the tone right for Nihau, or however you spell hello. I’d surely be beaten into submission regularly by the tone police. I can’t believe how similar the pairs of words sound – and how different the meanings are. I guess it’s not so subtle once you really know the language. Funny video.
