Foreigner using Chinese to order food, ask for directions, and shop in China

You don’t need perfect grammar to survive in China — you need the right words at the right time.

At SpeakChineseLive, we help you learn and practice the real phrases you’ll use every day — from ordering coffee to explaining symptoms at a clinic.

    “Please take me to the nearest subway station.” “Can you wait one minute?” “I’m getting off here.”
