Important Note:

In this video, the mark â is used for the Low Tone, while à is used for the Falling Tone. However, to keep it consistent with the widely accepted method (where à is used for the Low Tone, and â is used for the Falling Tone), we recommend learners switch the â and à tone marks when taking notes.

We apologize for any confusion and are working to correct this issue in the video as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
