I just move to Suzhou, which I love a lot but it really bothers me that I cant communicate with the locals who can not speak English; My friend recommend YesPo to me, its a human-powered translation and interpretation app; It is easy to use and it really helps! So how do you guys solve language problems when you were new here?

I use cellphone apps for help when I first come to China, but most of them are machines-based, so sometimes the translation can be very strange, which bothers me a lot; I tried YesPo recently, it is much better than those I have been used. But I think it is also important for you to learn Chinese if you are going to stay in China for a long time.

Find a Chinese girlfriend who does not speak your language and you will learn very fast.

I use the app Hapeng Lite on my cellphone because it gives you so many choices of Chinese words so that you specifically hone in on the exact word choice. For instance, the English word "stove" has about 20 different Chinese word choices from burner to furnace. Also, I use a lot of gestures. Human body language and miming word meanings is a universal emotional language that requires no translation.
