The Mandarin Advantage: Why Your Child Needs To Study Mandarin

One of the greatest satisfactions about being a teacher is the ability to produce well-adjusted individuals who can cope with the demands of the 21st century.

Increasingly, the world is seeking more tolerable individuals; understandably so.

One would argue that our world faces major crises due to intolerance; either by individuals or communities. Learning Mandarin is a good avenue for training your child to be a global citizen by broadening their perspective.

Learning the Mandarin language makes them more tolerant towards other people by providing deep insights into Chinese culture, history, and philosophy, which is essential for fostering cross-cultural understanding in a globally connected world.
Chinese language learning is rapidly gaining popularity amongst Kenyan students and for good reason.

China is also currently Africa’s second largest trading partner.
