What you get
Everything inside a scenario
Each scenario is a complete learning package — not just a word list. Here's what you'll find inside every one.
Key Vocabulary
Culture-specific words you won't find in textbooks — like "tap water", "split the check", or "carry-on". Each with emoji, meaning, usage tip, and a highlighted example sentence.
Common Mistakes
The exact errors Chinese speakers make when translating literally — shown side by side with the natural correct version, so you never say the wrong thing again.
Interaction Map
A step-by-step breakdown of every key moment in the scenario — so you know what's coming and exactly what to say at each point.
Core Expressions
Three levels of phrases for the same situation: Beginner (survival), Natural (daily use), and Native (sounds like a local). You choose your level.
Sample Dialogue
A realistic transcript — not textbook stiff. Includes natural filler, realistic back-and-forth, and the small unexpected moments that actually happen.
Cultural Notes & Fun Facts
The unwritten rules English speakers just know — tipping etiquette, what "on me" means, why you don't say "Give me the bill." Things no class will teach you.
