Hi! I was indeed impressed when watching the dude doing Chienese tonge twisting on youtube. He sounded more ‘mandarin’ than me since I grew up in Xi’an=stiffer sound imho(I’ve spent > 5 years in North America and I’m still trying hard to get rid of my accent which may be a life long mission XD). I’m just curious if you have any tips for the acquisition of native-like foreign languages(particularly US English(or even French French) as I’m guessing you may be American).
Wow, I am a native speaker and I just took the ACTFL Mandarin OPI, and I am worried about my test result because I accidently said “ok” during my interview…

我在伊利诺州naperville城的一个大学教中文。 我是一个语言爱好者。很显然地，您也是一位很有语言天份的人，而且从您的网站上看得出来您偏好于绕口令。我常在寻找和更新对学生学习有帮助的学习活动和项目。请问，为什么您觉得绕口令对一般学习中文的学生有益？
有空的话，欢迎您来信指教。
