As a Chinese learner, you are likely familiar with the dilemma: you have been learning Chinese for quite some time, know many characters, but when you are among Chinese speakers or want to read a bestseller recommended by your Chinese friends, you feel completely lost. What does "mama-huhu" or "ban pingzi cu," half a bottle of vinegar, mean? You understand each individual character, but not the context. A dictionary often doesn’t help. When you ask your teacher, you will be surprised to find that they explain such a short phrase in long sentences. We have created this booklet "Chinese Phrases Made Easy" for you. It is designed to help you understand phrases and sentences whose individual characters you know, but which you cannot find together in any dictionary. The phrases in this book are very commonly used.
