Working here in Japan I have had to learn the basics in several languages, Japanese, Tagalog, Chinese to name a few. It has taken 6 years and several hundred hours of study just to get the basics. But now I have found a great crash course in Chinese. In 5 mins you can learn some valuable everyday phrases that can help you in many situations.
