DISCUSSION:

Why Learn Chinese?

Chinese is a "super language" with many dialects. Cantonese, for instance, is a dialect of Chinese.
In mainland China, in order for people speaking different dialects to understand and communicate
with each other, a standard and official language was created based on Beijing dialect. It is called
Mandarin Chinese. 普通话 (pǔtōng huà). This literally means "the common dialect."

By learning Chinese, you will be able to understand and appreciate different aspects of ancient
Chinese and Asian cultures, such as calligraphy, paintings, poetry, music and architecture. This
makes touring around Asia all the easier.

China is the second largest economy in the world. Since China opened its door to the West in the
late 70s, the Chinese government has been working on bringing foreign investment and economic
cooperation to the country. This creates many employment opportunities for foreigners to work in
China.

China is also one of the fastest growing nation as well. The future of China is promising - that's
why many companies now do business with China and why many movies set in the future show
China as a superpower and global influencer.

Even if you don't work and live in China, being able to speak Chinese will give you an edge when
competing for employment opportunities in your own country.

The Chinese Language

Chinese is often called one of the most difficult languages in the world. It is certainly a challenge.

Chinese grammar is actually pretty easy. It has the same sentence order as English. Plus, there
are no noun plural forms and verb tenses to memorize. Even the four tones are not that difficult.
Pay attention when native speakers are talking, and mimic their pronunciation. You'll definitely
get the hang of it. Plus, many Chinese people, especially the younger Chinese, speak some
English. They're always so eager to help you. You'll find a lot of teachers, once you let people
know you're studying Chinese.
