Why learn Chinese?
Learning Chinese offers unparalleled access to the world's second-largest economy and one of its oldest civilizations. China's global influence in sectors like technology, trade, and politics makes Mandarin a strategic asset. For basic fluency, English speakers require about 2,500-3,500 unique characters and could expect to spend 1,300-2,200 hours to reach general proficiency due to the complexity of the writing system and tones. Key grammar aspects include understanding tones, measure words, and sentence particles like 'le' for tense. Simplified grammar rules counterbalance the language's challenging script and pronunciation. Mastery of Chinese unlocks diverse professional opportunities and deep cultural insights.
