If you\u2019ve ever considered teaching English in China<\/a>, there\u2019s a lot to learn, from finding a position<\/a> to arranging a work visa. But you\u2019ll also need to think of another thing: speaking the language of your new home. After all, you\u2019ll be there for 1 to 2 years! Plus, there are a lot of benefits that come with learning a new language!<\/a><\/p>\n

Teachers living in China will need to adopt a normal routine for things like grocery shopping, traveling to work, and meeting new people. Of course, this can be overwhelming because Mandarin Chinese, the most common language spoken in China, is very different from most Latin-based languages, like English.<\/p>\n

To help you navigate your stay in China, you\u2019ll need to learn some essential Mandarin phrases to get by. We\u2019ve gathered a few handy phrases, as well as some of their pronunciations, to help you while you\u2019re teaching abroad.<\/p>\n
