Learn To Speak Chinese Starting Right Here

I was actually surprised to see how many people are looking to learn Chinese online each month. Would YOU be surprised to know that the number is well over 45,000? It’s true. Chinese is a very popular language. Well, you can begin learning it, right here, right now. I’m going to go over a few simple Chinese conversational sayings.

Let’s start with something simple. Let’s say you wanted to ask somebody how they were feeling in Chinese. You might say something like, “你怎麼感覺?” which means “How do you feel?” in traditional Chinese. In simplified Chinese you would say “你怎么感觉?” If the person wanted to answer back, “I feel fine” they would say “我覺得罰款 “

Okay, let’s get to something a little more complicated. Let’s say you went to the store to buy some food and you wanted to know how much a loaf of bread costs. You would say something like, “多少這是麵包？” which means “How much is this bread?” If the price of the bread was in yuan, which is equal to 0.146113 U.S. dollars, and the bread in US dollars was $1.46, then the store owner would say to you, “麵包的成本10元” which means “The bread costs 10 yuan.” Yes, you’re going to have to learn currency conversion too.

What if you wanted to know where the nearest police station was in case you were robbed? You’d probably ask something like, “Where is the nearest police station?” In traditional Chinese, this would be “在最近的警察局？” If you were speaking in simplified Chinese, the question would be asked, “在最近的警察局？” As you can see, in this case, they are exactly the same. Just seeing if you’re paying attention. In some cases, traditional and simplified are the same.
