Learning Mandarin Chinese is one of the growth stories of the last 5 years. With China’s economic growth and gradual liberalisation over the last 10 years or so, more and more foreigners have decided to visit the country for tourism or business reasons. On the back of this surge in demand to know more about China has been a phenomenal growth in people wishing to learn Mandarin Chinese, the predominant language in the country. For quite some time, we at Learn Mandarin Now have been providing ideas, tips and resources to help overseas and local students and our followers find the best ways to get ahead with learning Chinese. We’re sure you care about your progress—well, so do we! And now here is our latest project: a series of interesting Podcasts of key words and phrases to help you learn more effectively.
