First Ten Chinese Words...



China is so rich in culture. One thing I noticed the most during my stay there is that people really speak their own language. Most of them speaks only Mandarin and nothing else. So when a foreigner get to such place you will need to learn their language. Here are my first ten Chinese words:

  1. Xiexie - thank you. my first word.
  2. Chi fan - let's eat. this really would sound nice to my hearing when a chinese would always tell me this words...lol
  3. Duo shao qian - how much? i always have the courage asking a sales lady do shao qian??? but when the lady replies to me in Mandarin...ohh...i would reply...at no. 4
  4. Tsing po tong - that means i don't understand..lol
  5. Peng you -friend.i'm fond of calling most of the Chinese i speak with.
  6. Ji rou - chicken. i always make sure to pronounce this correctly when I order food because only a syllable difference they have with fried Frog...
  7. Wo ai ni - i love you. woi ai ni my honey junmer
  8. Ni zai nali - where are you?
  9. Bu yong xie - you're welcome.
  10. Kuai zi - chopstick. i really wanted to use this like a pro.lol
