Takeaway Chinese is China Radio International's bilingual Chinese-learning show, produced under the China Plus banner. Each roughly 25-minute episode mixes English chat with practical Mandarin: everyday dialogues, high-frequency words and expressions, language tips, the stories behind Chinese idioms and notes on social culture. Aimed at learners abroad — and at Chinese listeners who want to explain their own culture in English — the programme promises progress "day by day", one takeaway phrase at a time.
