Knowing how to have a conversation on the phone<\/a> is necessary when living in China.<\/p>\n

While hospitals accept walk-ins, clinics and outpatient departments require appointments scheduled ahead of time via telephone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before making that call, you should probably brush up on things like telling time in Chinese<\/a> and\u00a0the\u00a0days of the week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You can also prep by watching authentic videos on the topic on a program like FluentU<\/a>.
