mandarin has been called the most useful language to learn on earth. Learning mandarin should be on everyone's list for a number of good reasons. Principally, it is the most spoken language in the world, after English. Mandarin is a popular second language, and the ability to speak it is highly valued. The other benefits of mandarin have mainly to do with business opportunities. Because of the trade relations between China and many other countries, there are many employment opportunities for people who can speak mandarin.
What university degrees is mandarin useful for?
The ability to speak, write and understand mandarin can be useful to you if you are pursuing university degrees in business, commerce, politics and international relations. Since China is a huge market for these fields, there are many jobs for people with mandarin skills.
If you are not interested in the above courses and want to learn more about this beautiful language, the best course for you is Chinese Studies. In this programme you will learn about the history of China, its languages and its cultures.
What careers can studying mandarin lead to?
There is a direct correlation between your language skills and your employment opportunities. The more languages you are good at, the better your chances are when looking for a job. In addition, no other country is doing better than China when it comes to employment opportunities and economic growth. This means that those who speak mandarin will have an advantage when it comes to jobs for many years to come. Aside from that, China is also experiencing rapid economic growth, which means that there are many new business opportunities as the country's economy expands and opens up to the global market.
How does mandarin help with Chinese Studies?
Chinese studies or sinology is the academic study of China and its people, language, and culture. The history of the Chinese language goes back thousands of years. Therefore, learning mandarin can be very helpful for anyone interested in Chinese Studies as it allows you to read primary literature sources such as ancient Chinese texts that are not available in English. This will give you a significant advantage over other students who have enrolled in courses in Chinese without being able to read and understand mandarin.
Teachers will take the time to assess your starting point then develop a personalised syllabus to work towards your objectives. Online classes will focus on your areas of weakness and on developing the confidence you need to achieve your goals. Lessons will also push students in areas that they are already comfortable in, encouraging constant improvement and developing positive learning habits.
Choosing Spires’ Chinese tutors is the first step you can take to securing a great grade on your board exams. Most of our tutors are either native speakers themselves or experts in Chinese language with degrees well and above the regular HSK exams. These tutors customize every lesson to your grade. So it doesn’t matter if you’re an adult learner wanting to learn advanced Chinese or a child starting out with your first online mandarin lessons. These tutors will help you learn the essential skills you need to become fluent enough to hold a conversation with a native speaker or pass any Chinese exam that you want to pass.
The perk of having a private tutor is that all the lessons focus on your specific learning skills. These tutors take into account your learning capacity, and how much prior knowledge you have yourself.
We only hire 4% of the teachers that apply to Spires and they are all professional and experienced school and university level educators. Many have qualifications from top universities and institutions in the UK, USA, and around the world. All have a Ph.D., MSc, Ma, BSc, or Ba in their chosen field.
We have a lot of repeat students and you can check out the high star ratings our clients leave.
Because tutors set their rates via an auction system, our prices are more competitive than many other companies. Our online classroom is stable and fun to learn through. It has an interactive whiteboard and students can access recordings of classes at any time. They use webcam video chat when being taught.
Spires deals with all of the matching, scheduling, payments, and administration, we take all of the hassles out of organising support and allow students to focus purely on learning.
