## What is 中文Lingo?

You don't need to learn "all of Chinese." You need the Chinese that closes YOUR deals: the negotiation room, the banquet table, the factory floor, and the daily survival of doing business in China. That is the only Chinese 中文Lingo teaches.

The big apps drill tones and HSK grammar for a test you will never take. 中文Lingo gives you the real words, slang, and conversations of international business in China, so you can hear what your partners actually say and respond with confidence the moment it counts.

FIND YOUR BUSINESS CHINESE
Pick the situation you work in, and learn only what you will really use:
- The Negotiation Room: Catch the asides your partners mutter in Chinese, the real margin, the stalling tactic, the "don't lower it, that's their limit."
- Banquet Diplomacy and Guanxi: Hold face (mianzi), toast the boss (ganbei), and build the relationships that close big deals.
- Sourcing and Factory Audits: Understand what workers and floor managers really say behind your back about defects, delays, and cheap substitutions.
- Supply Chain and Logistics: Handle freight forwarders, customs, and warehouse disputes, from rollovers to demurrage, in real business Chinese.
- The Expat Business Trip: Survive China's closed digital world, from WeChat Pay and Didi to high-speed rail and strict hotel check-ins.

Whatever you choose, every lesson is rebuilt around it: the exact vocabulary, slang, and real situations of your world. Zero textbook filler, nothing you will never say.

WHY NICHE CHINESE WINS FOR YOU
- This is not a vocabulary app. Every scenario is a rehearsal for the exact deal or shift you are about to walk into.
- You get results faster, because you skip everything irrelevant to your deals.
- You understand the room: the side-talk, the subtext, the real intent.
- Every phrase comes with native pronunciation, so you catch it at full speed.
- Confidence where it pays off: better terms, stronger guanxi, fewer surprises.

MADE TO FIT A BUSY SCHEDULE
- Learn in quick 5-minute sessions, between meetings, in the lobby, or before a banquet.
- Rehearse real conversations and practice your replies out loud.
- A 24/7 SOS phrasebook for the exact moment you get stuck.

Choose your specialty when you open the app, switch it anytime in Settings, and start hearing the China your business actually deals with.
