Mandarin may seem as an extremely difficult language to learn, but from my 1-year experience I can assure you it is above all extremely fun. Contrary to most of the languages, Chinese grammar is very comprehensive. The most challenging part is the pronunciation and characters. In my opinion though, it is what you will enjoy the most. Nothing compares to the joy you get practicing pinyin (syllables with tones written down) or coming up with different associations to help you memorise characters. And just imagine – being able to recognize characters and understand what you see and hear around you – even a few words are something to boast about!
It has been scientifically proven that learning Chinese significantly develops your brain. As my Chinese teacher said, ‘not all Chinese people are intelligent, but all people able to learn Chinese definitely are’. Did you know that Chinese is used in therapeutics? Learning Chinese characters was proven successful in treating various disorders, e.g. dyslexia.
Moreover, knowing basic Chinese expressions is indispensable while travelling through China. Even though English is common in bigger cities, you might find yourself having to use Chinese on a day to day basis if you set out on more adventurous trips or visit China’s countryside. On the whole, basic knowledge of Chinese will facilitate communication and will be welcomed with much hospitality from the locals!
Joining a language course in China is easier than it seems. The offers are plenty, as you can see from the results in your online search engine! The most popular destinations for the language students are Beijing and Shanghai, but there are also opportunities in such cities as Xian, Nanjing, Kunming, Tianjin, and Dalian, to name a few. Ranging from regular language classes to intensive to business, they usually go on for 4 to 6 weeks and come along with other activities, such as sightseeing, martial arts classes, calligraphy classes and other. The courses are offered all year round but the most popular season is of course summer – watch out for the heat! The most pleasant weather is encountered in spring and autumn, but remember – it all depends on the region, so don’t forget to do some research before you plan the journey.
Language schools usually help you with accommodation and visa, but you can avoid any hassle by referring to professional tour bureau. Experts at Beijing Tours can advise you on the best language schools in the capital, as choosing from such big number of offers by yourself can be very daunting. They will help you avoid any scams and make the best of your stay. Learning Chinese in China is a one-of-a-kind experience. You will practice it every day, both at and outside your classes and you will have an opportunity to make friends as passionate as you. It is one of the best ways to discover China – there is always time to see another tourist site after class!
