BEGINNER CHINESE
Communicating with waiters in China is no easy task. Sometimes the rice takes too long to arrive. Sometimes dishes that you ordered never appear. Other times extra dishes are added to your bill that you didn’t order.
I have a tried and tested unit on my online course that is dedicated to teaching you restaurant best practice and all the basic language you need to communicate effectively. Do you want to know how to ask if this food is enough for two people? Or if it’s too much? Let me show you right now.

Learning How To Communicate In Everyday Situations In China.
Do you know what all my wonderful Elementary Chinese students love the most? The fact that they can learn how to communicate effectively in everyday situations in China. Here at Elementary Chinese, we don’t teach you useless vocabulary and Test Chinese. We teach you how to communicate whilst traveling, how to pronounce Chinese tones, how to talk with taxi drivers, how to speak on the phone with delivery drivers, and tons more everyday situations.
Would you like to be a part of the Elementary Chinese community or be the first person to be notified when my online course re-opens? There are tons of ways to stay connected and learn alongside a group of like-minded expats in China.
