Learn All the Mando You Need in One Day!!!

Are you going into mainland China on a tour (with me for example), travelling for business or going there anyway? Even if you’re driven around by a personal guide, waited on hand and foot by people who speak English, it’s always useful to speak some Mandarin.

In only three or four short hours, I’ll teach you everything you need to know about

• Ordering stuff in restaurants

• Shopping, paying for stuff

• Getting around (if necessary) (Well, you never know, you could lose your guide)

• Eating and drinking etiquette (Just because you don’t eat meat doesn’t mean you can’t eat ducks’ heads!)

• Praising your host and accepting gifts (warning: Never praise something too much; your host will give you three kilos of it.)

Like Cantonese in Hong Kong, a little bit of Mandarin goes a super long way in the mainland, and unlike Hong Kong, people won’t be answering you in English.

As well as general stuff, we’ll set off some time addressing your specific travel needs, which you will have emailed me beforehand. With the course material I give you, packaged in a travel-friendly way and complete with Chinese characters to show to people, you can even do the “solo intrepid traveller” bit by yourself.

With the basic phrases you learn from me and practise on locals, you will be conversant in no time. (And the Chinese only want to know where you’re from, where you’re going and how long you’ve been in China anyway.) I’ve been travelling in China for 21 years and know the score.

Now I’ve boiled all those years down to a ONE DAY CRASH COURSE!
