Chinese is often described as the most difficult language in the world. The tonal nature of the language and the character writing system makes it a challenge for language learners, especially those from western countries. However, it's the most widely spoken native language in the world. Many people are accepting the challenge of learning Chinese in 2022 and here are 3 reasons why you should too.
1 - Gives you brain power.
So many things today are designed to sap our brain power. Learning Chinese gives your brain a much-needed workout. English language learners only use the left temporal lobe whereas Chinese language learners use both sides. Mastering the tones of the language and the character writing system will significantly improve your memory and cognitive skills.
2 - Makes your CV stand out from the crowd.
Imagine being able to write that you’re proficient in the most difficult language in the world on your CV! If language proficiency isn’t enough to convince your potential employer, the qualities needed to master this language sure will. Determination, patience, and willingness to tackle a difficult challenge will give your employer confidence that you won’t shy away from challenges in the workplace.
3 - Good for business.
China remains the second largest economy in 2022 and remains the top place for exporting goods at competitive prices. Understanding the Chinese language and culture is vital for understanding the business world and building reliable partnerships not just in China, but in other countries where Chinese is widely spoken such as Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
