Pocket Phrases That Actually Help

I grabbed this before a trip and ended up using it more than I expected. I listened on the way to places and felt ready to speak up instead of freezing. The focus is on everyday moments, like ordering food or getting a taxi, which made it useful right away. I liked that it didn’t bog me down with rules. It felt light, quick, and practical. I wasn’t fluent, but I was understood, and that felt like a win.

Perfect for Tourists and Expats

This book is a lifesaver for anyone spending time in China. It covers greetings, numbers, directions, transportation, and even polite phrases that locals appreciate. It’s not overwhelming and builds confidence quickly.

Perfect Pocket Lifesaver

This fit in my bag and saved me at a café, a market, and a taxi stand. Clear scenes, bold phrases, and quick writing guides made it fun and stress-free.
