Introduction
The idea behind Making Out in Chinese is to aid those who wish to speak real Chinese rather than the dry textbook style taught all over the world. No one really speaks textbook English, and the same is true of Chinese, so why not make out using real everyday Chinese? This book will save students valuable study time so that they can quickly move on to communicate naturally. I hope you will be successful in your attempts at making out in Chinese!
INFORMATION
Customs, habits, and traditions vary greatly throughout the world, and the traveler must take this into consideration when encountering other cultures. In my travels throughout China, I have often heard the expression: Nǐm
The phrases in this book will be comprehensible in all Chinese-speaking countries. However, the degree of openness, especially in sexual matters, differs from country to country. My own personal ranking, from most liberal to most conservative, is as follows: Hong Kong, mainland China, Macao, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia. My high ranking of mainland China may surprise some, but a great deal of openness is due to the number of Chinese seeking a foreign partner (and passport!).
PRONUNCIATION TIPS
All words in Chinese have a tone, and an incorrect tonal pronunciation can greatly change a word's meaning. For example:
The first tone ( - ): The word mā spoken with first tone means "mother." The first tone is an even pitched sound, almost like singing.
Second tone ( ´ ): The word má with second tone means "hemp." The second tone rises, like one would say the word "right?"
