Common mistake
Written 3-3, spoken 2-3: yǐng rises before xiǎng. Both end in -ng — keep the back-nasal endings while managing the sandhi.
Tone change in this word
Third-tone sandhi: yǐng + xiǎng is pronounced yíng xiǎng — the first syllable becomes rising.

How good is your Chinese pronunciation, really?
Reading about tones is not the same as producing them. Say a few words into your mic and the AI scores every syllable — tone, initial and final — then shows you which sounds are holding you back.
