    About this audiobook

    The perfect Mandarin Chinese course for travel in China. It is designed to help you ask for the things you’re most likely to need when visiting China and to give you the skills to cope with situations you might find yourself in.

    The accompanying free booklet is also available to download at: collinsdictionary.com/resources.

    It is different from other courses in that you also learn to understand the likely replies to your questions. You will hear key words and phrases used in dialogues between native speakers, so you learn not only how to say them but also how they are used in conversation.

    Topics covered:

    Unit 1: Greetings
    Unit 2: Attracting Attention
    Unit 3: Exchanging Courtesies
    Unit 4: Asking Questions
    Unit 5: Where are you from?
    Unit 6: Going Places
    Unit 7: Asking Directions
    Unit 8: Where can we eat?
    Unit 9: Getting Transport
    Unit 10: Ordering a drink
    Unit 11: Asking for a room
    Unit 12: All about food!

      Using scales to make music is more than just choosing the right one. But how does one go about practising scales, and should you bother? Using my favourite analogy, if music is a language then scales are alphabets. With our English alphabet we can ma
