"Méi wèn tí" (sounds like: "may one tee")

We're limiting the Hi-Mandarin Decoder Pilot to 20 professionals.

Not because we want exclusivity—
but because refining a curriculum requires focused feedback.

You don't realize the risk when things are still "working."

Emails are polite. Meetings seem smooth. Your translator is doing their job.

In Chinese business contexts, "quite good" (还不错) often means:
"Acceptable, but not impressive."

Your Chinese partner invites you to dinner.

Your Chinese partner invites you to dinner.
Translator isn't there yet.

Host raises a toast.

We’ll try our best.
