Benefits of our Mandarin Chinese Language Courses ?
Mandarin Chinese is spoken by about 955 million people and is the official language of Mainland China and Taiwan, and it’s one of the official languages of Singapore and the United Nations. It is the most widely-spoken language in the world. As well as China, Mandarin is spoken in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, Phillipines and Mongolia.
China is one of the largest markets and one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Expanding your business onto Chinese markets can be extremely profitable. But for this expansion to be successful, knowledge of the Chinese language is absolutely essential.
In addition, learning Chinese might be easier than you think. There are no verbs, no plurals, no tenses, no subject-verb agreement, and no conjugations. There are over 80,000 Chinese characters but generally only 3,500 are used in conversation. In fact, it could be regarded as a more logical language. Also, studies have shown that Mandarin speakers use both sides of their brains! This will certainly keep brains motoring.
Despite the Chinese language growing in popularity among learners, there are still fewer people who speak it as a foreign language compared to, for instance, English or Arabic. Being able to speak fluent Chinese, you will instantly stand out among most other employees. As a business owner, you will be able to truly tap into the powerhouse that the Chinese economy is, connect better with your potential partners, and offer unique opportunities to your customers.
