What do native Chinese speakers say when they greet each other? You may be surprised to learn it
isn't the standard "hello" you'll find taught in most textbooks. And that's why we've devoted this podcast
to casual greetings in mandarin. So regardless of whether you're just starting to learn Chinese or have
been working towards fluency for a while, join us in this Chinese podcast as we cover the language native
Chinese speakers actually use when they want to say hello.
