Why study Mandarin?

It is the most spoken language in the world, with over a billion native speakers. It is the official language not only in China but also in Taiwan and Singapore.
China is one of the world's largest economies and is a key player in international business and trade. Many multinational corporations do business with or in China. Proficiency in Mandarin can open job opportunities in various industries, including finance, manufacturing, technology, and international business.
China has a rich cultural heritage, with a history spanning thousands of years and is making significant advancements in technology, science, and research. Learning Mandarin allows you to engage more deeply with Chinese culture, from ancient traditions like calligraphy and martial arts to contemporary arts like Chinese cinema and literature.
China is a diverse and culturally rich country with a wide range of attractions, from the Great Wall to bustling metropolises. Knowing Mandarin can greatly enhance your travel experience by enabling you to communicate with locals, read signs, and navigate transportation.
Mandarin can be a start point to access to other East Asian languages, such as Japanese and Korean, due to shared characters and cultural influences.

I can ask the teachers almost anything and they provide the information freely and openly without making me feel uncomfortable. They really are expert.
