Learn Chinese with ChineseClass101.com! You are in China on business and are doing quite well speaking the language and staying on top of the work. In fact, you are doing better than some of the other employees that have been there a while. You have become familiar with a co-worker that sits next to you each day. He does not seem to be as fluent in the Chinese language as you are though and asks you in Chinese, “Can you translate these documents for me?” Even though you feel you could, you have too much work with a deadline not far off. You reply in Chinese, “I can’t at the moment, but in the left drawer of your desk is a translation book that will be very useful.” He looks in the drawer, finds the book, and gets to work. It’s amazing that not long ago you were in your co-worker’s shoes not speaking Chinese very well.

Learn Chinese with ChineseClass101.com! You are staying the summer in China and have met someone you would like to get to know better, but because you are shy, you are afraid to ask for her number. While talking to your friend, you ask him in Chinese, “I don’t want to seem too forward. How do I ask her for her phone number?” He replies in Chinese, “Don’t.” You are confused. Most often, your friend tells you to go for it. Before you can question him, he tells you about an instant messenger that she probably has access to and you should ask her for that instead. What a great idea! You could tell her you like to chat and ask her if she would like to chat with you. That’s not too forward. You muster up the courage and ask her if she could chat with you. She accepts your offer and before you know it, you are on a Chinese chat site and on your way to geting a date.
