Basically, you need to understand (have truly acquired) the spoken language before you try to read it.

O know a British woman who does not speak very well but her written and reading of Chinese is very good

being more back is like depressing the center section of your tongue, leaving the tip hanging up.

I guess maybe another way to describe it would be biting (or just touching) the two sides of your tongue with your molars, leaving the front half of your tongue loose?

Maybe just save us some time, put your lips on his mouth, hansioux that is, and perform the motion with your tongue. I think it seriously gives him a better idea of ​​what you’re talking about. Really.

I would guess this is some gadget made in japan.^^ For teaching pronunciation of course.

There are people who can read Chinese without speaking it. Most of them are called “history graduate students”. Brute force memorization and no need to speak. Well, others might go by “translator”. lol
