The sentences presented in this section will help you with the most basic expressions in Chinese. It
will certainly not be enough in order to start a conversation in Chinese, however being able to say a few words in the country's native
language will evoke sympathy and understanding.
Please be aware that English is not as common as a second language as in many other areas of the world. Therefore we recommend to buy a professional
course and to study Chinese in-depth before traveling.
