WHY MANDARIN?
China has a history that dates back more than 5000 years and the mysteries of its culture have attracted the eyes of other nations for centuries. Even more absorbing to China watchers in recent times has been the country’s economy, now the world’s fastest growing, while its predominant language , Mandarin Chinese (called Putonghua) , the national language of the People’s Republic of China is spoken by more people than any other single language on earth. Travelers who speak Mandarin are able to converse in Chinese and will have a more rewarding experience when visiting china. For people doing business in China, learning Mandarin could be the key to opportunity. Learning a language gives you insight into a culture and a people that nothing else can do for you. Maybe it will provide the edge you need to succeed?
WHY BEIJING?
Beijing is the capital of the People’s Republic of China and was established as such during the Jin dynasty in AD 1153. For the past 800 years the city has been the country’s political, economic and cultural center. Thus Mandarin (Putonghua) phonetics is based on Beijing Mandarin (local language). Mandarin, as spoken in Beijing, is considered to be the standard for the People’s Republic of China. (Though, just like in the United States and other countries, certain parts of the country use a variation of pronunciation and local words, in Chinese we call these differences dialects. Mandarin is understood all over China and the world, unlike other dialects which often are only understood in that one region.)
