A LITTLE CHINESE. A LOT OF CONNECTION.
Chinese,
in real life.
Beyond the textbook. Into the conversations,
culture, and little moments that make it click.
从一句“你好”开始。It all starts with hello.
THE BEGINNING.↗
01 / FIND YOUR WAY IN
Four ways to
get closer.
A sound you notice. A joke you finally get.
A sentence you actually use.
Start wherever curiosity takes you.
Getting past someone on a busy train?
不好意思，
借过一下。
“Excuse me, could I get through?”
“一下” softens the request. A little word that makes a big difference.
02 / YOUR TURN
A small win.
Right here.
You’re ordering food and want it less spicy.
Which phrase would you try?
AT THE RESTAURANT / 在餐厅
03 / MEET DAVID
A language.
A culture.
A connection.
Hi, I’m David. I’m building a space for people who are curious about Chinese—and the world that comes with it.
Here, we’ll explore the way people really speak, unpack the things that get lost in translation, and take Chinese out into the world.
