Features: Pinyin annotations, phonetic annotations, Chinese character annotations—easy to learn at a glance. Practical! Emergency! Rapid! Recently, more and more people from China have been traveling abroad for family visits, study, work, and business, while an increasing number of foreigners have been coming to China for trade and tourism. The exchanges between China and foreign countries in all aspects of social life are showing an unstoppable strong trend. Moreover, with China's entry into the WTO, in this context, interacting with foreigners has become an inevitable part of daily life. To help those with limited foreign language proficiency overcome language barriers and achieve a basic level of communication with foreigners, we have specially compiled this "Rapid Oral Series," including four foreign language books: Speaking English, Speaking Japanese, Speaking Russian, and Speaking Korean. At the same time, considering the linguistic differences in China's north-south exchanges, we have also specially compiled three domestic dialect books: Speaking Cantonese, Speaking Shanghai Dialect, and Speaking Wenzhou Dialect, hoping to bring practical and effective results to a wide range of readers. Speaking Shanghai Dialect is one of the books in the "Rapid Oral Series." Shanghai is one of China's largest cities and one of its most economically developed cities, which is enough to attract people from all over the country to work and start businesses. Learning to speak Shanghai dialect will help more people understand and integrate into Shanghai's changes, facilitate communication and development in Shanghai, and mastering this dialect has become an urgent priority. This book provides you with a shortcut to quickly learn Shanghai dialect; by following the pinyin translations below, you can roughly pronounce a somewhat non-native Shanghai dialect! If you want to truly master this dialect with authenticity, you can only slowly "refine" yourself within Shanghai's melting pot.
