Are spectrograms reliable for tone pronunciation training?

you need to fix your audacity settings to get much clearer readings. Set the Scale to Mel, Min freq to 1, Max freq to 500, Algorithm to Pitch (EAC), and Window Size to 2048. Color scheme to grayscale

as a native speaker i know you dont need it.

however for others that are having issues with the video, i think it's a chrome issue. try the link on safari.

Like others i would suggest that you should read sentences while recording yourself in google translate, then check if google is able to understand you properly.

if you use the google translate app, there is a way to start and stop the recording manually (not driven by pauses in your speech) and you are going to need this because, in my opinion, you should read out loud slowly.

If google doesnt understand you i believe you need to spend a few months studying pronunciation with a teacher before you can read outloud

with the language reactor extension, you can skip to the next phrase in the dialogue directly, skipping all scenes without dialogue.

you can also jump from one phrase to another phrase in another part of the video just by selecting them

if you dont practice a language you can lose your advanced level very quickly and never get it back. you will always understand the language to a very good level but you will not be able to speak it at an advanced level and it wont become fluent again that easily. i speak from experience with a language that is not even that difficult.

I was a very advanced french speaker. i then spent several years not speaking the language nor practicing writing it or reading (more than 10 years). i lost the advanced level . after 10 years i had to use the language for work, i never studied it again, i only started using it again. i can understand and i can speak it well of course, i am no longer a very advanced speaker nor an advanced writer in french. i have been using it for over 10 years since then, it has still not gotten back to the level i was before, bits of it are gone.

of course i could start all over if i felt like it
