Mandarin is spoken by more people on the planet than any other language - four times more than English! If you’re wanting to navigate the globe, then having at least a few words to pull out of your arsenal will come in handy. And, if you’re thinking of exploring China, knowing more is a must. Finding fluent English speakers outside of major cities can be harder than finding the lost city of Shi Cheng.
This deck includes 54 Mandarin translations essential for travellers who want to immerse themselves in the culture they're exploring - from everyday greetings and introductions, to eating out, moving around, or finding a place to stay. Practical phrases are accompanied by easy-to-learn pronunciation.
Pick up Mandarin while playing cards!
In 2012, on a Central America backpacking and surfing trip, Lingo's Aussie founder Keaton White had a "light bulb" moment to migrate hand-picked Spanish phrases from a battered notebook onto the cards he played every afternoon over sunset cervezas.
Having improved his Spanish through fun card games, he realised his idea was too good not to share. Lingo was founded in 2014 through a Kickstarter campaign and is now loved all over the world.
