  1. Hello Friends,
    You have created a very useful site and also very informative for all. Generaly Mandarin Chinese with four tones. These are the cornerstones to good pronunciation, and once you have mastered them, everything else will fall in place. Thanks a lot.

  3. This is an interesting development at Wellington College - it seems that many of the higher end academic institutions in the UK and the US are incorporating the learning of Chinese in to their programs; this is far-sighted thinking and will engender opportunities for these young people in the future in the expanding Asian markets. Learning languages can be the key to unlocking success for individuals in their working lives and beyond.
