Do you want to invite your Chinese friends to have fun together, such as having a meal, going shopping, or asking for a dance? Let’s learn to speak Chinese with ChineseHour’s teachers online. The pattern for an invitation goes like this:

Gēnwǒ …, hǎo ma?
跟我…, 好吗？
May I invite you to … with me?
跟我 gēnwǒ, with me
好吗？hǎo ma? = OK? It is a kind way to ask permission.
