You may have been learning Chinese for quite a long time, yet probably it happens all the time that your Ayi can hardly understand what you are talking about, or that you find it difficult to understand what your driver is trying to tell you. Walking in the street in Shanghai, you may encounter such embarrassment from time to time and feel lost when you cannot figure out what the people around you are talking about. That’s because you are listening to one of the hundreds of dialects in China – Shanghai Dialect. Since you are living in here, why not start to learn this purely local language?
