Mandarin Tones Phonemic Chart Chalkboard Infographic

Language learning infographic titled "The Four Mandarin Tones". Archetype: PRONUNCIATION CHART. Vintage chalkboard educational poster in a minimal monochrome palette, clean layout, sharp typography, Duolingo-friendly, tasteful imagery, no cultural stereotyping. Central chart with 4 large columns for the four Mandarin tones, designed like a phonemic chart with clear pitch-contour visuals and pronunciation guidance. Each cell shows the original-language form + English translation + phonetic hint: Tone 1 — mā + mother + high level, steady pitch; Tone 2 — má + hemp + rising pitch, like a question; Tone 3 — mǎ + horse + dipping low then rising; Tone 4 — mà + scold + sharp falling pitch. Add a small neutral comparison note section with ma + neutral particle + light, unstressed, if helpful for contrast. Include pitch-line icons, numbered tone marks 1 2 3 4, and a compact legend explaining diacritics over a, e, i, o, u, ü in English. Layout should emphasize accurate Pinyin spelling and diacritics, intermediate-friendly explanations, crisp table borders, subtle chalk texture, and balanced negative space. All text MUST be written in English (array). Every heading, label, caption, legend and metric name in the image must be in English — not English. Spell each English word correctly using English characters and diacritics. Numbers stay as digits, no watermarks Linguistically accurate spelling and diacritics in BOTH the taught language and the label language. No cultural stereotyping. Tasteful imagery.
