Allergies and ingredients
Ask whether a dish contains meat, eggs or peanuts. Practice your own true dietary restrictions; ask for a written answer.
Start with the guided teaching
You want beef noodles, know the price, and need to answer a follow-up about spice.
Build a food word from pieces: 牛肉 = beef; 面 = noodles in this menu. 牛肉面 = beef noodles. This helps with familiar combinations; a dish name cannot reveal every ingredient or cooking method.
Read a menu and order a meal — complete guided explanation
Do the work in five passes
- Listen and pronounce — 25 min · shadow 6 phrases; compare a recording.
- Read and recognize — 25 min · complete the guided teaching, then read today’s words.
- Build and speak — 25 min · build a guided request; then make 10 variations.
- Solve a situation — 25 min · practice both sides, then hide the hints.
- Retrieve and review — 20–80 min · due review, quizzes, and a spoken recap.
Completion records effort; quiz results measure recognition. Neither proves conversational fluency. Use the interactive trainer for review scheduling and saved progress.
