Summary/Abstract: With the goal of finding more feasible and effective teaching strategies for Chinese intonation acquisition for Romanian learners, this article explores the bias in Chinese disyllabic words by Romanian learners of the Chinese language. By means of the contrastive analysis and the phonetic software Praat, the intonations in Chinese and Romanian linguistics are visualized in order to make the necessary comparisons for identifying the causes of the bias. Considering the Romanian language pronunciation characteristics and the causes of the usual intonation bias by Romanian learners, several teaching suggestions are hereby put forward: utilizing the phonetic software, forming and emphasising the Chinese intonation system sustainably, reducing the negative migration of the native language, and further scientific pronunciation practice.
