Useful Chinese phrases: Pick-up lines
Today’s Chinese phrases will be all about pick-up lines: How do I start conversations with a lovely Chinese woman? I know that this should belong to the beginning of the series, but OK, better late than never. I must say, that these phrases are pretty advanced and complicated, so you need some advance knowledge of Mandarin, before you want to use this in real. I started with the basic ones, which I made up myself, the more complicated ones at the end were found online and translated into English by the best Chinese teacher in the world: my wife. Really really thanks this time for translating these quite complicated phrases.
