[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listening to mandarin all day gives me a headache. Thai also isn’t great. When they sing it just never sounds good simply because of the way they have to say words. [/quote] Thai and Mandarin are both tonal languages. English obviously isn't. I know I can't differentiate tones very well and wonder whether maybe native speakers of non-tonal languages don't hear the subtleties and differences. [/quote] Yes, I know they’re tonal. Thai sounds super nasally because you have to use the front of your nasal cavity to make it sound right. It just doesn’t sound pleasant though. You sound like you have a stuffy nose. [/quote]
