- 2. If you are thinking of traveling to China in the near future, or even if you just have an interest in Chinese, it can be useful to start out by learning a few of the most important words and Chinese phrases used in the Chinese language. Of course, a good course can teach you a great more than this, including, perhaps most importantly, how to pronounce things. This is crucially important and one thing in favor of online courses that they usually have a vast selection of audio and video files created by native speakers that you can download and play to learn the correct pronunciation of the words or Chinese phrases that you are learning. www.superchinablog.com
- 3. It’s important before you sign up with an online course that you check whether they have this facility, because it marks the difference between a course that is really worth taking and one that is not worth your time and effort. Learning the most common Chinese phrases is perhaps one of the best ways to begin actually learning the language, because it allows you to immediately practice and learn Chinese on a very basic level. When in a Chinese area, you can greet people, thanks them and observe the common courtesies. And once you make a beginning, the road becomes easier. You know what the Chinese sages used to say : “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. www.superchinablog.com

- 5. Learning the basic Chinese phrases is the first step on the road to mastery of the language. One of the first words that you should know in Chinese is xiexie – 谢谢 . This word means “thank you” and one of the most common courtesies practiced among the Chinese. Saying xiexie when required is perhaps more important than any other courtesy that you may show. www.superchinablog.com
- 7. Now, another word that you might find useful is the simple nihao – 你好 ! This word means ‘hello’ and is a wonderful way to begin a Chinese conversation with anywhere in the world. Say nihao to a Chinese, and he will in all probability reply with a courteous nihao. www.superchinablog.com
- 8. WO BU YAO 我不要 I DON’T WANT THIS www.superchinablog.com
- 9. There is another of the Chinese phrases that you might find even more useful, and that is wobuyao – 我不要 , which means ‘I don’t want this’. Remember that China is a business and merchant driven culture, and so when in China you will be approached by salesmen and merchants selling everything from heavily spiced things to eat to a statue of the Buddha, and you should be able to refuse a purchase. www.superchinablog.com
- 10. WO BU CHI LA 我不会吃辣 I DON’T EAT SPICES www.superchinablog.com
- 11. And speaking if heavily spiced dishes, there is another word that you should know – wobuhuichila- 我不会吃辣 , ‘I don’t eat spices’. Remember that China has an extremely varied cuisine, and that while some of their dishes might be acceptable to any palate , there are others that are so spicy that you will find them absolutely unmanageable if you are not used to spicy food. www.superchinablog.com
- 12. ZHONGUO HEN HAO 中国很好 CHINA IS VERY NICE www.superchinablog.com
