You've learned to introduce where you are from using 我是 (wǒ shì) + nationality. You also learned to use 你 (nǐ) to refer to the person you are speaking to.
Now, if you want to talk about the nationality of the person you are speaking to, what structure should you use?
Listen to the audio and complete the sentence below.
BLANK 中国人吗 (zhōng guó rén ma)?
