Chinese

Some very good reasons to study Chinese:

• China is one of the world’s oldest and richest continuous cultures, over 5000 years old.
• One in every five people in the world speaks Chinese, making it the most widely spoken first language in the world.
• China is the second largest economy in the world and one of the United States’ largest trading partners.  Many U.S. companies do business in China.
