After this free audio lesson you’ll feel more confident asking and answering questions in Chinese. Let’s say someone asks for personal information - how do you reply? It’s useful to be able to talk about yourself when you’re getting to know new people, speaking to an official person or filling out a form. Whatever the situation, the Rocket Chinese team is here to make it easier for you.
These are all useful things to be able to talk about for everyday conversations as well.
Let’s go through some of the most common questions you might be asked, whether you’re filling out a registration form in a hotel or at the consulate getting a new passport. In these situations, you’ll be addressed with “nín (您)” — “you.” So, though you have seen some of these questions before, all the questions below are expressed formally.
When you’re responding, you can follow one of the simple formats below. Just insert the appropriate information in the brackets. When you talk about your date of birth, you have to do so from year to month to date. For example: “wǒ de chū shēng rì qī shì nián yuè rì (我 的 出 生 日 期 是1984 年4 月5 日 。)” (05.04.1984).
I’m from [name of place].
