Chinese Tone Twister (INSANE)

This is crazy. 💀 This comes from a Chinese poem called “Lion Eating Poet in Stone Den“. It represents why characters are so important in Chinese, because if we relied on the phonetic spelling of the words, it would be impossible to communicate. This is also a fantastic way to practice tones! If you begin your Chinese learning with a very robust understanding of Chinese, then you can learn Chinese MUCH faster than most people.
