Why learn Chinese?
Chinese opens doors to the world
As one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, Chinese (Mandarin) enables new contacts and communication with people from China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Chinese as a career booster
China is experiencing rapid economic growth and is still on the rise. Why not increase your personal market opportunities with Chinese language skills?
Chinese broadens your horizons
In a globalized world, communication between cultures is crucial. Insights into the diverse Chinese culture and society strengthen intercultural skills and create new perspectives.
Chinese keeps the brain on its toes
When reading Chinese characters, both hemispheres of the brain are used, not just the left! This is because both phonetic and graphic codes are used.
Chinese trains the ear
Mandarin not only sounds beautiful, it also makes it easier to hear perfectly. Chinese as a tonal language is closely linked to music. After all, the meaning of individual Chinese words is also derived from the pitch.
