The third tone, known as both 第三聲/第三声 (dìsānshēng) or 上聲/上声 (shǎngshēng) respectively, causes a lot of problems for second language learners. In this video, we explain how it's pronounced, and how the tone or pitch actually changes depending on the context.

This is an excellent explanation
Imo, especially the examples with the "word boundary" could clarify so much that could be potentially confusing to a learner, but a native speaker just does subconsciously and doesn't think about

OH, THIS IS SO HELPFUL cause I noticed that chinese learning apps always do half a 3rd tone and not full, so I didn't know why.😅

This video is so informative and provides different kinds of insight about the 3rd tone. Thank you so much for talking about the rising part at the end of the 3rd tone, as I'm a Chinese as a second language teacher, I'm always confused, as we native speakers get rid of that part but all the other Chinese teachers still teach like that 😅

Thanks for the video. The first time I've seen an easy to follow explanation of how to pronounce 3rd tones when there are 3 or more in a row. Thanks! Im assuming that there are no common instances where this changes the meaning entirely?

Hi. Where are the word boundaries here? 我可以 / 我也想. Are these both pronounced 3-2-3? Thank you.
