Mission 3 · Choosing items and paying

This is a review and application lesson where you recall and use what you've learned. Look at the meaning first and say it, then check the answer and pronunciation. 多少钱 is used to ask the price. 刷卡 means to pay by card, but available payment methods may differ by store. 收据 is a receipt, different from the tax receipt 发票. In Standard Chinese, tones are important. When two third tones are together, like nǐ hǎo, the actual sound of the first syllable changes. Don't learn tones with Hangul only—always check the pinyin as well.
