Chinese Language Course – Why Learn Chinese Mandarin?

There are compelling reasons to learn Chinese Mandarin. Mandarin is the most widely spoken form of Chinese. It is spoken primarily in mainland China, as opposed to Cantonese which is mostly spoken in Hong Kong, Southern China and across the Chinese diaspora. But even in these locations, Mandarin is generally understood and it shares a common writing system with Cantonese. In addition to this, Mandarin only has four tones, making it easier to learn for Westerners than Cantonese. If you plan to mainly use Chinese to communicate with people from mainland China, then learning Chinese Mandarin is probably the best option. Cactus offers a variety of Chinese Mandarin courses in China, as well as evening Mandarin courses in the UK and private tuition across the world.
