Simplified Chinese phrases
Lines you can use tomorrow, tones included.
Phrases that get things done
Knowing characters is one thing, knowing what to say at a dumpling counter is another.
These phrase lessons teach complete lines with audio, so you hear the tones and copy them.
You'll cover greetings, ordering, directions, and the small talk that turns strangers into friends.
Every phrase comes in simplified characters with pinyin underneath.
Textbook characters get you tea; phrases get you invited back.
