Tones on their own
20
妈 麻 马 骂 - mother, hemp, horse, to scold - is the classic set, and the four words differ in nothing but pitch. Play the group first, then the four separately. Hearing the difference comes before producing it, and this page is only about hearing.
Four tones together
11
Eleven quartets, each four words that differ only in tone. Play one set on a loop until the four positions feel like four different places rather than four sounds. 汤 糖 躺 烫 - soup, sugar, to lie down, scalding - is the one most learners find easiest to hear.
One tone at a time
44
The same words as the sets page, but split apart so each tone can be drilled on its own. Use this when one tone is giving you trouble - for most learners it is the third, which in running speech is a low dip and not the full fall-rise taught in isolation.
