你好
My first words in the Chinese language to a real person this morning.
I had the tones correct, too.
I said it to a lady who exercises in the mornings. I was just leaving as she entered the exercise room. I had finished wiping down the treadmill I had run on.
"你好," I said.
She smiled, and I told her I had just started studying... which was a bit of an extension of the truth; I did study some written Chinese a long time ago, but had never spoken to anyone.
She said if I ever needed any help, just ask her.
" 谢 谢," I said, and bowed slightly.
