About This Book

A practical phrasebook of colloquial Shanghai presenting ready-to-use sentences organized by everyday situations—salutations, street and market interactions, commercial transactions, travel, and household roles such as cook, houseboy, amah, and tailors. A romanization guide explains pronunciation conventions and the volume includes an index-vocabulary plus focused appendices on numerals, classifiers, pronouns, basic adjectives and adverbs, directions, time, weather, and house-related terms. The compiler adds brief grammatical aids and study recommendations, aiming to give busy residents, merchants, and travelers a compact set of idiomatic phrases and sentence patterns for rapid acquisition of the vernacular.
