Why Learn Chinese

Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world, with over 1 billion native speakers, and it serves as the official language of China.  If you're thinking about learning a new language, Mandarin Chinese is an excellent option.

Given China's status as a global economic and political powerhouse, proficiency in Chinese is highly sought after in business and international relations.  This makes learning Chinese a gateway to numerous job opportunities, not only within China but also in other parts of the world, especially in multinational corporations looking for individuals capable of negotiating with Chinese counterparts.

Beyond its practical utility in the business world, mastering Chinese can provide a rich and rewarding cultural experience.  Chinese culture boasts a millennia-old history filled with art, philosophy, literature, science, and technology.  Learning Chinese offers a deeper insight into this diverse culture, allowing you to better grasp its customs, traditions, and inherent beauty.

3 Important Points About Chinese Learning

Learning Mandarin seems to be the global craze these days. People from every corner of the world are flocking to China and many universities have entire campuses dedicated solely to the teaching of Chinese to foreigners. The way to learn Chinese fast is to dedicate time to practicing the language. There is no magic method to learn Chinese, but there are 3 points to help you build your skills.

Chinese Tones Are Important

In Chinese, a word might have the same pronunciation depending on its tone. This means that the syllable ma might mean “mother,” “horse” or “to scold,” all depending on the tone. Chinese has a large amount of homophony. The pronunciation of many words is the same; it’s only the intonation that differs.

Speak a lot and Don't Second Guess Yourself

You will need to practice a lot, both speaking to yourself and speaking to others.  Practice imitating what you are listening to. Therefore whatever stage you are at in Mandarin, just speak without fear and trust your instincts.  If you continue your reading and listening activities, and if you continue speaking, your speaking skills will naturally improve.

Have Patience and be Consistent

Learning a language takes time. It will not always come naturally, and may at times be frustrating and unrewarding.

When this happens, first remind yourself to be patient. Learning Chinese isn't straightforward, easy, or quick. It's normal to feel like you’re stuck in a rut and not making progress sometimes. Some concepts may take longer for you to grasp than others, and that's okay.

Second, be consistent. Part of the reason you made that study plan was to keep you on track to complete your Chinese learning goals. Study when you're supposed to even when you don't feel like it. It will pay off in the long run.

Whether you want short-term or long-term courses, group settings or one-on-one classes, big city living, or a quiet study environment in the mountains, there are endless options for Chinese language programs in China. The good news is you can customize your program to fit your needs and desires to help you learn Chinese in China. If you're feeling overwhelmed, you're not alone. Just create a CUCAS account to help you get organized with the best Chinese language programs.
