其中一个趋向固有到经济增长在中国，是事实人们越来越采取中国语言课。 最佳的方式做那？ 去中国并且与萨莉·张谈话。 她在北京工作当节目主持人在中国语言教育组织。 在北京的商业中心中间方便地位于。

北京是家庭对大多她的学生。 “在这片刻，我们教中文对82名学生。 主要西方人，而且居于来自日本和韩国。 连续增长的相当数量学生在中国装于罐中到程度解释，用外国公司的平稳地增长的数量。 几岁月前，只有 中国银行，我现今有工作为经营在中国的外国银行的五名学生。 这些财政专家需要能读报纸和文件用英语并且用中文。 幸运地为他们，他们运作在公司，英语按时，这时，共同语言”。

困难
是那，它可以，能力讲汉语的几个词是不可避免的。 但为什么是汉语语言很难为我们掌握？ “这种语言使用复杂的发音。 一个不同的发音有一个不同的意思。 我认为是最富挑战性的part。 汉字是坚硬学会。 一个技巧？ 设法记住此： 字符有基本的冲程。 After you remember the basic strokes, it becomes easier to learn and write the more complicated characters.”

Practice
“There are of course many ways to learn Chinese. Some teachers will push you very hard and after one day they will want you to learn sentences. I do not think this is the right way. If the pronunciation is not good, you will have a lot of problems later on. When you want to learn business Chinese, it is important that you cover some basics first. You need to learn and grasp the elementary grammar, before you can move forward to learning the business Chinese. The only difference is in the words, the grammar is the same.” Is that what Sally’s Chinese classes are all about?

Personal advice
“Personally I like to learn other languages. Therefore, our teachers must be able to speak at least one foreign language. If you are able to speak other languages as well, you have the ability to identify the differences. For example, if you come from Japan and you keep on making the same mistake over and over again, I can help you out better if I know your language. Because by knowing your language, I would understand why you make this mistake. Some of our teachers speak German and others speak English. The use of English is very limited in our classes though. I think that when you are, for example, from the Netherlands and your Chinese lessons are in English, you have to translate sentences twice. That is very difficult. That is why I use English only in the beginning of the course. The sooner you start talking Chinese in class, the faster you will master it.”

Go there
“Further, you need to go to China to seriously practice your tones and pronunciation. The best place to learn, would in my opinion be Beijing. In this city, the Mandarin is ‘accent-free’ and not too much people speak English. This way you are pushed to speak Chinese everywhere, all the time. Before you know it, your Chinese will be at such a level, that you do not need your pocket dictionary anymore!”
