@Zuriel It would be more natural to me if it is third tone.

<p>勇敢 （ㄩㄥ<strong>ˇ</strong>　ㄍㄢˇ）is usually pronounced as "（ㄩㄥ<strong>ˊ</strong>　ㄍㄢˇ）".</p>

<p>How about when in a sentence there are some consecutative "三声" characters?</p>

I thought about such questions before as well, it turns out in this case, you would just pronounce the way it flows better for you, for example

> qíng nǐ géi lǐ xué zhǔ jiáng jiǎng yóng gǎn dē dá sǐ láo hú zhě
>
> qǐng ní gěi (pause) lǐ xué zhǔ jiáng jiǎng yóng gǎn dē dá sǐ láo hú zhě

You can imagine you are trying to speak out a number whose value is

> 3.55555555555555555555555...

You would naturally alternate second and third tone.
