Can I suggest a Lesson Topic for the Elementary subscribers?

"Exchanging Money at the Bank"

Basic language on how to exchange USD/EURO to CNY and vice versa. Withdraw money? Deposit $?

And also, some basic vocab (address, passport #, signature here) on what you might find on the countless forms you need to sign when you go through this endeavor.

Thanks for your consideration!

On a related subject ...

As foreigner, we can't exchange Money in a regular bank and are sent to Bank of China which will give the official certificat to eventually change the money back at the border.

But if we know we will use the money straightaway and don't need the certificat, how to make a good case of that at the reception of a regular bank and get this exchange in this regular bank ?
