Learn Chinese in 10 Days?
Of course, you won't be able to conduct your business negotiation in Chinese after learning the language for just 10 days. But speaking some simple Chinese is always a nice ice-breaker. By saying "Ni Hao" instead of "hello" when meeting your Chinese customers for the first time, you can show them that you are sincere. By addressing your Chinese employees with "Da jia hao" instead of "hello everybody," you can show them that you care about them. By saying "Tai guei le" instead of "it's too expensive," you show your supplier that you are not as naive as they thought. This course is developed by Ms. Ya-Chuan Yu, who has been teaching Chinese at the Wharton Business School of the University of Pennsylvania.
