Interested in learning Chinese or just curious? Here are 5 good reasons to learn Chinese
Get access to what the majority of tourists miss in China
Of course it is not necessary to speak Chinese to make a journey into the middle empire, although it remains useful. However, when you master a minimum Chinese, you can order more different dishes at the restaurant, you can bargain your souvenir purchases without getting rushed or access to remote corners where no one speaks English. By speaking Chinese, you do not miss the best and you save money <unk>
Learning an increasingly popular language on a resume
More and more companies are seeing a person practicing Chinese even at the advanced level as a bonus because trade with the country is growing at a crazy speed. And that probably will not stop. If you are able to speak Chinese at an intermediate level, you will be surprised by more than one during an interview.
Mastering an Assumed Difficult Language
By learning Chinese to reach an appreciable level, you will stick to many people for whom this language represents the complexity in its pure state. Do not we say "it's Chinese for me"? We can even take you for a Chinese native on the phone. If, it happened to me by ordering pizzas in Beijing;).
Progress faster than German or English
Oral Chinese is no more difficult than another European language such as English, German or Spanish. The reason for this? Mandarin is devoid of conjugations, declensions, chords, links, articles and other complicated grammar rules present in our languages. The written Chinese is certainly more difficult because the characters require an effort of memorization. But the system is now simpler to tame thanks to the computer.
Understanding Difficult Aspects of Chinese Culture
If you are an enthusiast of Chinese or Asian culture, learning Chinese, without necessarily being bilingual, will give you the opportunity to understand things that seem strange or twisted, but that become logical when you know the language. Calligraphy, philosophy or the Chinese way of thinking are good examples.
