Useful Сhinese vocabulary (1)

The podcast with these will follow but at the moment here is the list of useful verbs you should know. I have put Pinyin in the middle but without the tone so you will need to listen to the podcast.

The first word ‘love’ is really popular. Do you know how to say ‘I love you’ in Chinese? Listen to the song called “Rose, rose, I love you” and you will catch ‘Mei guai, mei guai (rose, rose), wo ai ni (I love you).

There is another great song where you will hear words ‘Bu pa’ which means ‘Don’t be afraid’. The singer is called Summer Lei (雷光夏). The song has really poetic lyrics. Do enjoy.
