Some Things I Mess up in Mandarin

shǎo/shào,小xiǎo

si, ci, and se 


“Yun” eg. 我自己的名:妙韵

This sound in my name so the problem comes up a lot.


ju, zhu

qu, chu 


Zhe, zhi. eg. Feng Zhiwei, 这是not zhì 


encourage vs exerting great effort, guli vs nuli. I don’t even remember which one each is, respectively.


Distinguishing ǒ vs ó tones (not specific to this vowel)


Formerly, 聚会jùhuì vs 会众huìzhòng. There is a 50% chance I accidentally told someone I‘m learning Chinese because I want to go to Chinese parties as opposed to a Chinese congregation. I don’t even like parties.
