3 Reason Why You Should Learn Chinese
Don’t get me wrong, I am not going to tell you how China will become the strongest nation in the world. I don’t think it’s going to happen, but you should still learn Chinese.
Most of you already know the benefits of learning the Chinese language and feel a little tempted to learn. Why haven’t you started? Let me convince you briefly here. In my opinion, there are 3 most important reasons why you must learn the language. I know because I was born in China and grew up in North America. I received most of my education from western society but I felt that my Chinese root still needs to be kept. I am fluent in reading, writing, listening, and speaking both Mandarin and Cantonese. For starters I recommend learning how to speak Mandarin first. The reason why is that it is very similar to English and it is spoken by the majority of the Chinese population. I am not going to teach you Chinese here so let me give you the 3 reasons.
Reason #1: Everybody knows China has a booming economy. No matter where your business takes you in the future, you will have to deal with Chinese businesspeople at some point. For example, if you are selling something and you need a manufacturer in China, you are most likely be able to find a good one if you can communicate with them directly.
Reason #2: Chinese people are everywhere. Ever wonder what those guys are talking about beside you? If you can understand and speak Chinese, you have a big advantage. You can pretend you don’t know and keep listening to those secrets that pass by your ears everyday.
Reason #3: The Chinese language has incredible history, culture, and knowledge. The language is so powerful that a simple short poem written by Li Bai can change the way you view life. There are so much to learn from the language I believe it is the #1 foreign language you must learn in your lifetime.
If I didn’t convince you enough, it’s OK. I bet in the future you will hate yourself for not listening to me.
