Looking for practical Chinese (Simplified) (中文) to Galician phrases? This free guide lists 100 essential sentences for travel, study, work, and everyday conversation. Each line shows the Chinese (Simplified) phrase first, then the Galician translation (Galician) — so you can scan quickly before a trip, class, or video call.
The phrases are grouped into eight topics: greetings and pleasantries, useful phrases for travellers, everyday conversation, directions and getting around, shopping and dining, emergencies and health, work and business, and time, days and numbers. Use the table of contents to jump straight to greetings, directions, dining, emergencies, or numbers. You do not need perfect grammar to start — short, clear sentences often work better than silence when you are learning Galician.
Tip: read the Galician line out loud three times, then cover the Chinese (Simplified) side and try to recall the meaning — repetition builds memory faster than silent reading.
Bookmark this page for offline review, share it with a travel buddy, or open the Chinese (Simplified) (中文) to Galician translator to paste your own messages and get an instant translation.
