Chinese - The Upcoming Language
and Why You Should Learn It

China has been reborn in the last generation and is now firmly one of the great powers of the world. China currently has approximately one fifth of the worlds population and has modernized itself along with its population growth.

Over the generations, Chinese migrants have initiated them selves into the society of every country on earth. No matter which city you live in, you are never far from a Chinese restaurant. Even Chinese food carries its own culture and tradition. China has now grown into the worlds production centre. Each year more and more products are outsourced to China for manufacture and assembly, in a growing trend that does not seem likely to slow down in our generation.Business people are now beginning to realize the need to learn the Chinese language in order to do business with manufacturers and wholesalers in global markets.

With China's recent economic explosion, it's quickly becoming a necessity to at least have the skills needed to work with them. Many major companies are looking for people who can help them communicate and establish themselves in China. The best way to get an edge on your competition in the job market is by being useful in non-traditional qualifications. Mandarin, like most Chinese dialects, is a tonal language. This means that tones, just like consonants and vowels, are used to distinguish words from each other. Mandarin has four tones while Cantonese has more than six. People who can understand only either Mandarin or Cantonese can communicate with each other by writing because they use the same written characters with a few exceptions. Mandarin Chinese has four tones: flat, rising, falling then rising, and falling. Other dialects can have as many as nine tones.

There are easy ways to learn the Chinese language with both books and free audio courses.
