Welcome to your third Chinese lesson. In this lesson you’ll be learning how to pronounce words related to foods & drinks. These words are very useful in daily life. Besides the foods & drinks I will also teach you some words for basic office supplies. I have also started adding columns on how to pronunciate the Chinese words.
Good luck!
