I am glad you are interested in learning Chinese. As you may have known, there are many many different dialects in China, but Mardarin is the official language. If you have business in China, definitely I will encourage you to learn their language and culture. It will benifit you a lot.Most people don’t speak English in China, but more and more young people are learning English.
You are pretty brave that you went there to do the business without speaking Chinese. How did you handle everything while you were there? Did you have an interpreter?
I live in Scripps Ranch. if you are seriously thinking about learning Mardarin, you are welcome to join my class. please contact me at [email protected]
