Most Chinese learners fly right by the basics of greetings and introduction but they’re important to master. If you don’t know the difference between 你贵姓 and 你叫什么名字 or if you’ve never heard those phrases before, this show is for you. Also, if you think there’s a proper way to say ‘good afternoon’ or ‘good evening’ in Chinese, tune in and you may be surprised. // A special thanks to this show's sponsor Concordia International School Shanghai.
