Chinese For Travelers
News December 6th, 2007
If you’re heading to Beijing for the Olympics, check out the Beijing Visitors’ Blog for some common Chinese phrases. You can listen and practice some basic words. There’s another recording of numbers in Chinese.
If you’re visiting China for a longer time, I have to recommend ChinesePod. They offer 10 minute Mandarin lessons by podcast (which is way better than the half-hour blocks you need for language tapes), and lessons are searchable by subject, so you can practice phrases and vocab for different situations.

Chinesepod is a great resource and it is all for free!
I love ChinesePod! It’s very practical and the lessons are never boring.
