I think this is a pretty good way to get some basic tips for first time business travelers to China. Tough language....I think it would help to have the phrase in English on the same screen as the pronunciation as a constant reminder of what you are saying. I found myself having to go back and look at the previous screen to remember what the phrases meant. I really liked the phonic help below the actual phrase, I think with a little practice I could make use of these phrases on a trip someday. I think it also would be helpful to hear the actual phrases in a real conversation at full speed to really hear what they will sound like with the natives. All too often phrases in other langauges are taught at a slow pace and can't be recognized when in a real life situation.
