About this lesson
You will be able to say what you are sending and ask how much it costs at a Chinese post office, and use 呢 to ask back.
How to practise
- Learn the phrases on the first card: these are the lines you will say in the situation.
- When you see 你会怎么说？, answer out loud in your own words before the real line plays, then repeat it.
- Keep the phrasebook at the end: the phrases, what you will hear, and a tip for the real thing.
