Vital Survival Information Should You Ever Unexpectedly Get Stuck in China

This coming week is my last week of Chinese class, and I have to do a short presentation. In preparation for it, I started looking through the lessons from the text which we will not cover. I was hoping to find a word or two that I could use in the presentation.

I knew as soon as I started reading that I'd be blogging about this.

Here are some of the sentences that are contained in the book. Commit them to memory, folks, you never know when you might need them...

Chu men gen zai jia bu yiyang, gafan shi jiu shi duo - "Going on a trip is not like staying at home, you'll certainly have more problems to solve."

Wo de xingli hen da, yi ge ren ban bu dong - "My luggage is so big that I can't carry it myself."

Yiyuan qianbian xiu lu, qiche dao bu liao yiyuan menkou - "The road is being repaired in front of the hospital, so the car can't reach its gate."

Chule qu shixi de yiwai, dou lai le - "Except for those who have gone to do field practice, everybody is here."

Si ge xiao bao buru liang ge da bao hao - "Four small parcels are not as convenient as two big parcels."

Wo changwan jiu gai nimen le - "I've finished singing. It is your turn now."

Ni ba zui zhangkai, wo kankan - "Please open your mouth and let me have a look."

Ta yi chu men jiu shuaidao le - "No sooner had she left the room than she fell down."

Ni kanjian Hezi le ma - "Have you seen Wako?"

Wako.

Indeed.
