Chinese for travelers, for the moments that actually happen.
Your first days in China are full of small conversations: a driver calling, a cashier asking how you will pay, or a restaurant worker confirming your order. Start with the phrases that keep those moments moving.

Words to use when this really happens
Start politely
你好 (nǐ hǎo) means hello. 麻烦你了 (má fan nǐ le) is a useful, polite way to say “sorry to trouble you” before asking for help.
Make yourself understood
请问 (qǐng wèn) means “may I ask.” Use it before a question: 请问，地铁站怎么走？(qǐng wèn, dì tiě zhàn zěn me zǒu?) — “How do I get to the subway station?”
Keep the conversation going
When you do not understand, say 请再说一遍 (qǐng zài shuō yí biàn) — “Please say that again.” It is one of the most useful phrases to learn first.
