Mandarin Chinese is a tonal language, and features a complex writing system that requires the memorization of many different characters. If you&#8217;re diving into Chinese language studies, you might not be sure where to start.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/blog\/chinese\/chinese-euphemisms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">memorizing common phrases comes in<\/a>. By learning just a handful of common phrases, you&#8217;re giving yourself a head start. Even without a more robust vocabulary, you&#8217;re suddenly awarded the ability to communicate, even if it&#8217;s on a very basic level.<\/p>\n<p>Learning set phrases also gives you a leg up in perfecting Chinese pronunciation. Pronunciation plays a very important role in Chinese, and using the wrong tone for a word can turn it into a completely different word. The phrases in this post use \u62fc\u97f3 <em>(p\u012bny\u012bn),\u00a0<\/em>a system of romanization that was developed to help foreign speakers use the correct pronunciation. In addition, you can click on any phrase in this post to hear it pronounced.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Learning these phrases is just the beginning. Use them as a jumping-off point to continue your studies and expand your knowledge of Mandarin Chinese. Take the next step in your studies with the help of a language learning program like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fluentu.com\/chinese\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FluentU<\/a>.
