Lost? Here's some Chinese to help you find your way.

I often see people lost in the streets of Taipei, be it in the underground malls, in the city center or simply roaming around. Here are a few lines in Chinese to help you out!

A--> Lost person
B--> Person helping you out

A: 糟糕, 我迷路了. In pinyin (zhāogāo, wǒmílùle)
    (Bummer, I'm lost.)

B: 請問, 有需要幫忙嗎? In pinyin (qǐngwèn , yǒuxūyàobāngmángma?)
    (Excuse me, do you need some help?)

A: 是的, 請問一下, 台北車站怎麼走? In pinyin (shìde, qǐngwènyíxià, táiběichēzhànyàozěnmezǒu?)
     (Yes please, how do I get to Taipei Main Station?)

B: 去台北車站, 一直往前, 然後到7-11的時候左轉就可以了. In pinyin (qùtáiběichēzhàn, yìzhíwǎngqián , ránhòdào 7-11  deshíhòuzuǒzhuǎnjiùkěyǐle)
( to get to Taipei Main Station, carry on straight, turn left at the 7-11 and you'll get there.)

A: 好, 這樣我知道了, 謝謝! In pinyin (hǎo , zhèyàngwǒzhīdàole, xièxiè)
   (OK, I know now, thank you!)

B: 不客氣! In pinyin (búkèqì!)  
   (You're welcome!)

Till next time!
