It’s always good to memorize a few words of a country’s language before setting off on your trip, if not only to appear polite when your visiting.

Mandarin Chinese is arguably one of the world’s most difficult languages to learn as an English speaker. Fortunately The Travel Linguist has taken it upon themselves to help untangle your tongue just in time for your trip to China. Included are such time-honored classics as “hello”, “goodbye”, “thank you”, “do you speak English” and the always timeless, “where is the bathroom?”

They have also set up a YouTube channel with a slew of other languages, 101-style. Figure out how to find the bathroom anywhere in the world!
