July 13, 2020 By Kwadwo

CHINESE PHRASES

I’m here in KFC China, and apparently we’ve ordered a Chinese specialty.

A rare and delicious Beijing Chicken Twister.

Maybe this is a new age specialty? 😂

For those of you who are familiar with Elementary Chinese on YouTube you’ll know that I’m all about teaching you the everyday Chinese you need for daily life here in China.

Whatever you need, there is a video for you to improve your vocab or enhance your tones.

CHINESE VOCAB

Do you want to walk into a Chinese restaurant and order, stress-free?

This is one of the most popular requests from the students on my online course speakeverydaychinese.com. Maybe that’s because it’s one of the first things you’ll need to do in China, or maybe it’s because you are all huge foodies, like me!

Don’t worry. I’ve got your back. Let’s learn to order Chinese food, stress-free.
