Want to increase your ability to advocate for clean technologies? Learning Chinese, Earth's most spoken language, is easier than you think!
Whatever you do, don’t trust that some smartphone app is going to get you fluent or near-fluent in Chinese all by itself. When experimenting with the popular Duolingo app to brush up on my own rusty Mandarin that I picked up 10-15 years ago, I told my kids to try it out. My daughter was almost in tears when she immediately got lost and didn’t know what the app was even trying to get her to learn.
First off, you need to decide what Chinese language you want to learn. The biggest one is Mandarin, but there’s also Cantonese , Min , Hakka, and many others. In fact, there are hundreds of languages spoken in China. Plus, there are other, and other regional languages like Japanese, Vietnamese, and Korean are related, and sometimes even use Chinese characters.
