Chinese Language Survival Kit
Hi Everybody
YEP is excited to welcome you to Taiwan. We have prepared this listening CD in order to provide you with some
"survival Chinese" Prior to your arrival in Taiwan.
We hope you find this helpful. What you are about to hear can be used in everyday situations.
Re-play this CD and practice your pronunciation. Good luck! See you in Taipei.
Instruction : For each expression you will hear the English translation first. Then the Chinese expression will be repeated 3 times.
