其中一個趨向固有到經濟增長在中國，是事實人們越來越採取中國語言課。 最佳的方式做那？ 去中國并且與薩莉・張談話。 她在北京工作當節目主持人在中國語言教育組織。 在北京的商業中心中間方便地位於。

北京是家庭對大多她的學生。 「在這片刻，我們教中文對82名學生。 主要西方人，而且居於來自日本和韓國。 連續增長的相當數量學生在中國裝於罐中到程度解釋，用外國公司的平穩地增長的數量。 幾歲月前，只有 中國銀行，我現今有工作為經營在中國的外國銀行的五名學生。 這些財政專家需要能讀報紙和文件用英語並且用中文。 幸運地為他們，他們運作在公司，英語按時，這時，共同語言」。

困難
是那，它可以，能力講漢語的幾個詞是不可避免的。 但為什麼是漢語語言很難為我們掌握？ 「這種語言使用複雜的發音。 一個不同的發音有一個不同的意思。 我認為是最富挑戰性的part。 漢字是堅硬學會。 一個技巧？ 設法記住此： 字符有基本的衝程。 在您記得基本的衝程之後，學會和寫更加複雜的字符變得更加容易」。

實踐
當然「有許多方式學會中文。 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!”
