06
What they say back Ten short answers — the half that actually stalls people.

Who it's for. Nurses, ER techs, resident physicians and front-desk staff in the U.S. who see Mandarin-speaking patients and don't have a translator in the room yet. Pinyin on every line, so you can read it out loud without knowing a single character.
