Why Learn Chinese?

an ancient and beautiful language

China is one of the world’s oldest and richest continuous cultures, over 5000 years old. And Chinese is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, with more than 1.3 billion speakers. Behind all theses are amazing and diverse Chinese cultures. So whether if you're interested in the food, business, history, or sceneries, learning Chinese will help you to understand this country to a better extent.

Amazing culture

unlock the secret of China

With thousands of years of history, China has a rich culture, prominent in many aspects. Chinese food, festivals, music and cinema are famous worldwide. Studying Mandarin Chinese opens up ways to better understanding this rich and diverse culture. Moreover, Chinese is particularly fascinating because of its beautiful calligraphy, melodic spoken language, and poetic phrasing.

Rising Economy

world's leading economic powerhouse

The main driver of the language’s attractiveness is China’s booming economy and its status as a rising global superpower. Over the couple of decades, China has transformed itself from a  third world country into what is arguably the largest global economy. There is a huge demand for people who can bridge the gap between this flourishing country and the world.

Carrier Opportunities

opening up the Asian market

International businesses prefer to conduct business in their native language. As China has become one of world's largest markets, business leaders are always looking for people who can speak Mandarin in order to liaise with Chinese companies and find their place in this growing economy. Being fluent in Chinese may give you an edge when competing for an important position.
