1. Rocket Chinese 6 Day Course -
Basic Introductions (audio lesson)
Nǐ hǎo, huānyíng lái dào Rocket Chinese!
Hello everyone! And Welcome Back for Part 3 of the Rocket Chinese
6-Day course!
In this lesson, we've got a few basic but absolutely essential tasks to accomplish:
 how to introduce yourself in Chinese,
 how to ask someone's name, and tell them your own, and
 tell someone where you are from (though it will be obvious that you're not from "around here"!)
The audio track below is the second track from the popular Rocket Chinese Interactive Audio Course.
The lesson, "Talking about yourself," is about 20 minutes long, so make sure you've cleared a space, even
if that only means a "headspace," so you can devote the full force of your learning powers to it.
All you have to do is double click on the audio button below to listen to the track on introducing yourself
in Chinese. As you follow the lesson, you'll not only be able to understand the conversation, but you'll be
asked to take part in it yourself. By the end of it, you'll be making a winning first impression in this most
unique language.
