Learn Chinese Language |
|
| The Chinese language (including variants) is spoken by an estimated 1.4 billion people worldwide - three times the number of English speakers. Continued economic growth in China and a huge influence over the business world are shaping an economic horizon largely dependant on bi-lingual relations. Recent research (Reuters 2006) shows that there are 500 million English speakers in China and India. During the next decade, the number of foreign students studying English as a second language is projected to peak at an estimated 2 billion. |
