Thank you so much Fang-Chi for that very interesting summary of your findings. I have just started to discuss some of these issues with my Mandarin-speaking client. He told me that while Mandarin Chinese is his first language, that since he tends to speak English more now, he finds the actual pronunciations of many words to be more challenging in Chinese. We are working now on using easy prolongations to gain control on words he anticipates tension, and using pull-outs when he finds himself in a block. He seems to be transferring the skills well between the 2 languages.
