Why Everyone I Know is Learning Chinese
The other evening,i was at a birthday party and i was talking to a lady whose name is Sue at my table. I noticed that with vibrant conversational skills she was very intelligent. How fun a person to talk to.
Sue asked me, “Are you studying Chinese?” I answered, “No, I am not studying it, why do you ask so?” She said, “Everyone I know is learning Chinese.” She then asked me what courses in Chinese we had. Botn Pimsleur Chinese Mandarin Courses and Pimsleur Cantonese Courses I told her that we sold. She wanted to know which was more popular Cantonese or Mandarin.
I said to her, “Why are all of your friends learning Chinese?” She had several friends going to Beijing on a trip, another going to Shanghai to see friends, and another one going to Hong Kong and then to Guizhou. In order to talk to people in China ,all of these friends were trying to study some Chinese. This was impressive to think about all of these, probably older, people learning it.
I was in China a year ago and found it to be a fascinating place. I went through a candy factory that was just immaculate. I watched the workers decorate candy eggs, rabbits, and just about any kind of candy you can think of. The people that worked at the facility lived in apartments owned and supplied by the owners of the company. They signed contracts each year and were given their jobs, food and living quarters.
They made all sorts of candy with intricate details. From my hotel room I could see large cranes as far as the eye could see all putting up tall buildings. I found that the majority of cranes leased in the world was made in China. As I think about it and the experiences I had in China I can see why so many people are learning Chinese.
