Chinese is, without a doubt, the world’s most widely spoken language with more than 1.1 billion people speaking Mandarin. Besides being spoken in China itself, Mandarin is spoken in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, and the Philippines. Mandarin is fast becoming a sought after skill in the western world as well, with schoolchildren as far away as the USA learning the language to get a head start against their peers.
Additionally, people learn Chinese as a means of deep diving into the culture of the nation. The cradle of one of the world’s oldest civilizations, Chinese literature and art are only truly accessible to those who understand the language they were created in.
As the Chinese economy continues to grow and Chinese businesses expand all over the world, knowledge of Mandarin Chinese is fast becoming an essential skill. Some of the world’s most powerful CEOs speak Chinese as a second language, and knowledge of Chinese can help make business deals that would otherwise have been impossible.
