Navigate restaurants, transport, hotels, and markets. Everything you need to get around confidently in a Chinese-speaking environment.

Surprise, humor, frustration, encouragement — the vocabulary of personality and emotion that makes your Mandarin come alive.
Phone & Digital
电话与网络
Phone calls, texting, WeChat voice notes, and the digital shorthand that shapes how modern Chinese speakers stay connected every day.
Advanced Language
高级语言
This module contains informal, sensitive, or adult language used in real-world contexts. All phrases are reviewed by HanyuLab administrators before publication. Content is hidden by default and requires an account with advanced access enabled.
Practice this with a tutor
Vocabulary alone won't make you fluent. A HanyuLab tutor will drill these phrases with you in real conversation until they feel natural.
