If you have been learning Mandarin for a while, you may have noticed that there some Chinese character changes its meaning on how you use and read it. AND that is what my post is all about.

That is why learning how to recognize and read each Chinese character is VERY important because a change in tone can totally change the meaning of the Chinese word.
