As one of the most unique and the most widely spoken languages in the world, Chinese is gaining popularity at tremendous speed. Around 1.2 billion people (16% of the world's population) speak Chinese, the language which is also called Mandarin, Hanyu or Putonghua. Speaking from the foreigner's perspective, believe us when we say that the first conversation you manage with a Chinese person will be an amazing feeling. The language is not simple, let's be honest. Yet the book you are reading right now includes all the basic knowledge the beginner must know, and is aimed at helping you on the journey of studying Chinese.
It may not be evident at first, but a better understanding of Mandarin will ensure that you have more time exploring and enjoying the best that the country has to offer: tourist attractions, arts and entertainment activities, and the local cuisine to name a few. But what if you are due to travel anytime soon? Is it still possible to master at least the basics of the Chinese language if you're given only a few days to do so? Fortunately, it is possible, and this book will help you do just that.
This book features easy-to-understand guides on how the language can best be used in situations including but not limited to the following:
- Greeting other people and introducing yourself, specifically the proper way of doing so
- Getting around and exploring (e.g. asking for directions, telling the time)
- Ordering food at restaurants
- Shopping
- And more!
And the best part is, with the help of this book, you will learn to master all that and more in just 7 days!
