ABSTRACT
This chapter presents conversations in the Mandarin Chinese language based on common daily situations with their matching English translations. It discusses few vocabularies, grammar sections along with examples. Grammar part teaches about naming of children within the family- Sons and daughters are generally referred to by parents and the parents generation, not by their given names but by numerical terms based on the order of their birth. The basic unit of currency in China is the Yuan. Reduplication of measure words expands the reference of measure words from limited to limitless numbers. This facility is available only to measure words of one syllable; and the reduplicated measure may not stand at the end of a sentence. The second syllable does not lose its tone in the case of reduplicated measure words; it takes an ending, according to choice. Expansion Drills gives confidence in building up longer and longer sentences in Chinese and increases fluency at the same time.
