16 May The Importance of Being Able to Speak Mandarin in the Era of Globalization
Over 1.3 billion people in the world are native speakers of Mandarin as their language. Another 1.12 billion people speak Mandarin as a second language. Mandarin is one of the world’s major languages and is one of six international languages used in the United Nations. The global economy increasingly influenced by China makes Mandarin not just a means of communication, but also the key to wider career and business opportunities.
Given the economic needs, international trade, and market communication are strong reasons why the ability to speak Mandarin is one of the needs. With China’s economic dominance, Mandarin language skills are an important provision for the next generation to compete in the world of work and international business. Learning Mandarin can directly increase your competitiveness, both in your career and your studies.
Learning Mandarin is growing rapidly in the 21st century. This can be seen from how Mandarin has become one of the subjects taught in schools in Indonesia. In the past, Mandarin was more often placed as a local content subject (Mulok) in the world of education. However, over time, Mandarin has become one of the compulsory subjects, both in public and private schools. Especially in private schools, Mandarin has even become a priority.
Of course, learning Mandarin, which is a foreign language and not a mother tongue, is not easy, especially if the surrounding environment does not support practicing the language. Learning a foreign language requires continuous repetition, both in listening skills, understanding how to use sentences, and speaking. Therefore, it is important to increase the hours of foreign language study by taking additional courses. This is evident from the increasing number of people interested in taking Mandarin courses in Indonesia.
Mandarin courses, both by native teachers and local teachers, will greatly help us to more intensively understand and learn Mandarin more deeply. Learning Mandarin can be done to improve Mandarin language skills both for everyday life, for business career needs and preparation for school to countries such as China and Taiwan. Therefore, to support this, GROW has designed an online Mandarin learning program package that is easily accessible to all of Indonesia.
And there are still many other offers, for private and group classes. What are you waiting for?! Come on, register yourself now and learn Mandarin together.
