With the advancement of the “Belt and Road” trade, the use of Chinese at the international trade negotiation table has been increasing in recent years, giving birth to a boom in learning business Chinese.

More and more people choose to take Chinese language course for the following reasons:

1. Desire to work in China or Chinese enterprises in the future;
2. Do trade-related work in a Sino-foreign joint venture, such as a translator;
3. Learn more about the rules and underlying culture of Chinese business situations;
4. Use the knowledge of business Chinese to establish a business relationship with China in a family business, such as negotiating business with the person in charge of a Chinese manufacturer;
5. In the current position, by improving the level of business Chinese, get the opportunity of promotion within the company;
6. Seek suitable job opportunities in Chinese trading companies; do business in China after graduation;
7. In order to successfully complete the undergraduate studies, I chose Business Chinese between Business Chinese and Chinese Language and Literature.

But the difficulty of learning business Chinese lies in two points:
The first is the difficulty of understanding. Business Chinese has a specific language environment. Although most business Chinese words and sentences are common in daily life, business topics are rarely involved in daily life. In addition, business Chinese vocabulary is professional and abstract. For example, Chinese vocabulary in different fields such as finance, business management, law, international trade, marketing, business planning, etc., without sufficient contextual support, it is difficult for learners to fully understand the words and sentences only from the usual boring reading. Not to mention accumulation and use.

The second is the difficulty of accurate use. In order to achieve the purpose of using business Chinese vocabulary freely at work, in addition to having a strong comprehension ability and accumulating sufficient business vocabulary, it is also necessary to be able to express it accurately orally and in writing. Therefore, it is necessary to deeply analyze the use of synonyms, as well as the cultural meaning behind the sentences, avoid embarrassing scenes of misunderstanding and misexpression, and truly improve the communication skills in business situations.

Therefore, learning business Chinese is very important. A professional business Chinese courses not only simulates the relevant business communication environment for learners, but also focuses on the use of learned vocabulary and sentence patterns. Professional business Chinese teachers explain the meaning behind business sentences in simple terms. The identification and analysis of cultural connotation and synonyms enables learners to fully understand, correctly express, and express completely, and avoid misunderstanding the meaning of the conversation object, so that students can accurately apply the learned words and phrases to their business situations.

These three signs tell you that you Need Help With Chinese Course

It is not easy to learn Mandarin by yourself. This requires a good language environment, such as if you live in a Chinese-speaking country, or if you are an extremely self-disciplined learner, or both. People who learn Chinese by themselves in a non-Chinese environment will find that they can only master some basic vocabulary and some simple sentence patterns after a period of intermittent learning, which enables them to achieve basic communication, but it is more difficult to study further. The difficulty lies in the lack of systematic training.

Although there are many ready-made resources available, like free mandarin lessons videos, APPs , but usually you find it difficult to persevere. If it is a temporary difficulty you can overcome it; however if it happens more often you will feel that you are wasting your time.

When would you need a teacher and a course to help you?

There are three signals to help you to identify.

1. The sentence you said was incomprehensible to others.
2. Always fail to remember what has been learned.
3. You need to force yourself to keep learning. And it doesn’t work well.

If you find yourself in one or more of the above situations, then what you need is to choose a teacher or language center, join a physical or online mandarin course, and learn from the teacher at your own learning pace and to learn Chinese language systematically.

As the world’s largest developing country, China’s international status is becoming more and more important. Not only Asian countries, but also major countries in Europe, America, the Middle East, and the Australian government are encouraging students to learn Chinese. Chinese-speaking talents are preferred at various countries, especially at the international airports and public places where Chinese consumers has become the main attraction; Chinese signage are also obviously displayed at these places. In such a global trend, the craze for learning Chinese has long been becoming a norm. There is no doubt that for many people whose native language is not Chinese but if they can speak fluent Chinese, it is of great significance to their career development. However, Chinese is not an easy language to learn. Generally speaking, a student whose mother tongue is English needs to study at least two thousand hours to reach at the proficiency level, and this also depends on each individual’s circumstances. When there is interruption to the learning schedule, then the learning time will be correspondingly lengthened. The reason is that the language needs to have certain conditions for continuous practice and to remember so that it is not being forgotten while learning, especially as a second language.

In addition to the social need and looking for jobs, many foreigners are attracted by China’s rich and colorful history and human culture. However, whatever the reasons that urge them to start learning Chinese, they will find out in the end that at any stage of learning Chinese, if they want to achieve fluency, they need a mature Chinese language environment to achieve this goal. The problem is that it is difficult for many people to really move to China and live for a few years to learn Chinese. There is often a huge gap between ideals and reality. The problem facing overseas Chinese teachers and students is how to master the language in an immature or non-Chinese language environment.
Unless one is a language genius, ordinary people who want to overcome this will have to depend to a large extent on the teaching quality of the Chinese teacher; to see if the teacher can use diversified teaching methods in the classroom to reduce the learning pressure of students; effectively promote the classroom atmosphere and effectively encourage students to communicate in Chinese. Also, regards to how to review the exercises and so on. In addition, the teacher should also tailor a study plan that suits the students’ different situations. Basically, students at different stages of junior high school and high school should have different learning plans.
Fortunately, Singapore is a predominantly Chinese country, and Chinese is the second official language. This learning environment is very suitable for junior and intermediate students. In recent years, as Chinese companies continue to set up bases in Singapore, Chinese talents also flow to Singapore in the past decades and this is good news for students learning advanced Chinese.
Whether you just begin to learn Chinese or a student who has been studying for a period of time, you must have discovered that learning Chinese will bring you a lot of fun and also great help in life and work. What I want to say is that we are in an era when the knowledge economy has exploded, it is different from the old age that relies on physical strength and industry; it pays more important to the mastery of multiple skills by individuals. As an important language skill, Chinese may need longer time to master in contrast to other languages. Comparing with the ever-changing computer technology, learning Chinese is actually a kind of self-investment that will be rewarded once and for all.

How can I make the most from what I have just learned?
For example, I just remembered a few phrases and a few good words, but I could hardly use them when I was writing or interacting with people.

The following suggestions may help you:
1. Face-to-face communication with the Chinese; it is best to talk about actual projects or things – the advantage is that there are real scenes, a large amount of information exchange per unit time, and application of the information you learned at fast pace. The prerequisite is that you have to have enough basic knowledge of the language.

2. Read aloud a mainstream Chinese textbook, such as Hanban’s HSK series of textbooks. Recording the reading 5 minutes a day. Don’t underestimate these 5 minutes. Hold on for a month and you will find your listening, speaking and reading making great progress.

3. Make flash cards. In addition to virtual flash cards, such as Quizlet, we recommend that you write down the words if you have the time; the advantage is that it can be used to practice sentences or even a story. The process of memorizing involves familiarizing new words and thinking in Chinese will help a lot in learning the language.

The key is to turn these learning habits into routine; it is no problem to take a break but the most important thing is to persist in long run.

Is intermediate and advanced level Chinese too complicated to learn?
Intermediate and advanced level Chinese are one or two thousand or even thousands of words more than the basic Chinese, let alone grammar and rhetoric. It seems complicated and much more difficult to continue, how shall you continue the learning ? In fact, whether you are studying in the basic Chinese, intermediate or advanced level Chinese or business Chinese, as long as you are not eager to seek success and set a small goal each time that you can achieve, you will be able to succeed and learn.

Anxious to seek success is the biggest obstacle to adult learning. There is always not enough free time and energy to learn so if you give yourself a short-term goal that is difficult to achieve, isn’t that make it worse ?
Therefore, regardless of which stage of Chinese learning, we must know how to set short-term goals and urge ourselves to practice. If you have an experienced Chinese tutor, you can find your own small goals under her guidance and follow the teacher’s practice to consolidate what you have learned and effectively accomplish your goals.
