Mandarin is the official language of China and is spoken by 1.5 billion people. It is therefore the world's most widely spoken language.

Being able to speak Mandarin is essential if you wish to succeed in China. Mandarin is now the most important foreign language you can learn.

To understand the language it helps to understand the culture and the origins of Chinese characters. Cantonese speakers can also improve their Mandarin by improving their knowledge of Chinese culture.

Many western people find Chinese very different from their own language but investigating the similarities and differences is interesting and part of the fun.
