Why Study Chinese?

      To benefit from one of the fastest growing economy in the world, which has over $150 billion worth of business transactions with the US every year. To be able to communicate in a language used by more than one fifth of the population on the earth, one that is also among the five official working languages of the United Nations. To appreciate a civilization more than three thousand years old.

      To get to know the culture of a country with a population of 1.3 billion.

      To pursue a career in government/diplomatic affairs, international trading and commerce, law and higher education, etc.

      To enjoy the grandeur of the Great Wall, the Forbidden Palace, the world-famous Terra-Cotta soldiers, the mausoleum of the first emperor of the imperial China and many, many more . . .
