救命!快救我!
jiùmìng ! kuài jiù wǒ !
Help! Save me quickly!
Although we claim to be experts in basically everything involving China, we should admit that no-one at
Popup Towers has ever had to call an ambulance. The one time a friend came down with a medical
problem that needed one, he staggered to the local convenience store and someone took care of it for
him. But since you're living in China and can't count on that, be sure to give this lesson a listen as we
cover all the Chinese you should need to know to get help in an emergency. Or at least dial the right
number.
Learning Chinese? At our absolute beginners level, all lessons are designed for people who have no
previous experience speaking Chinese. So even if you don't know any Chinese, you should be able to
understand the materials we cover in this class. And when you start finding this stuff too easy? Head
up to our elementary level which features more spoken Chinese in the podcast, and longer dialogues in
general.
