Are you currently living in China? Do you have some basic knowledge of Mandarin already, but are looking for specific words to make your sentences complete? Then this app is perfect for you!

The most common adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, measure words, prepositions, pronouns, question words and verbs are listed in Pinyin.
Unsure how to pronounce a Chinese word? You will find the pronunciation and also some useful Chinese characters.

These topics can be found in the app:
Bank, body, Chinese zodiac signs, colours, company, cosmetics, countries, dates, drinks, food, hairdresser, health, hobbies, holidays, home, hotels, introduce oneself, Mahjong, massage, meters, money, numbers, places, religion, restaurant, shopping, taxi, time, travel, weather and zoo.

Some situations in which this app will be very useful:
You are in a shop trying some clothes on, but you don’t like the particular colour and you also want to have a shirt matching with the trousers. Unfortunately, you can’t remember the Chinese words for blue or other colours and for shirt. This app will tell you.

You are at the market looking for strawberries. What’s the Chinese word for strawberry? What’s the name again for pound? Forgotten? No problem with this app!

You are sitting in a taxi on the way to the ShangriLa Hotel, but you can’t find the name card and the driver doesn’t understand English. Your app will show you the Pinyin name.
