FAQ
What happens when they answer back at the hotel in China?
That's the hard part -- and exactly what TalkThere prepares you for. Each of the 4 hotel conversations shows you the full back-and-forth: what you say, what they'll likely respond, and how to keep going. You won't freeze when they answer in Mandarin.
Is this enough to get by at a hotel in China?
Yes. These are the 12+ phrases that actually come up in real hotel interactions -- not textbook phrases. Sorted by how often you'll need them, with pronunciation you can read at a glance.
Do I need to learn Mandarin script to use this?
No. Every Mandarin phrase has phonetic pronunciation written in plain English. You read it like English and say it out loud. The script is there for reference, but you don't need it.
