 “50 TOP VERBS TO SPEAK BASIC CHINESE”
Learning Chinese is easy as A, B, C. This e-book allows you to learn useful

verbs to speak basic mandarin with Chinese people and impress them. Like in

every language, Chinese has many words, which is why people are afraid to

learn it, but you will see that in order to speak basic Chinese you just need to

know the most frequently used words. That is exactly the purpose of this e-book.

This e-book will teach you the 50 top verbs for daily life.

Moreover, to help you understand the Chinese grammar easily, we chose to

provide you with a literal translation of the examples. Our goal is to teach you

how to make your own sentences quickly. Before you notice it, you’ll learn more

than verbs.

Don’t forget that the best way to learn Chinese is like every other language; go to

China to practice every day with native speakers and immerse yourself in the
