If Thomas Friedman is right and the world is truly becoming “flat,” that puts the United States on more of a level playing field with the rising superpower to the East – China. While English still remains the dominant language of global capitalism, the demand to learn Standard Mandarin Chinese is exploding in Indonesia, India, Singapore, and, increasingly, the West.

China’s economy is growing at such a phenomenal rate that many predict it’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) will surpass that of the United States within the next decade. As the People’s Republic becomes more dominant in international business and politics, the demand for learning Mandarin grows.

Another significant factor in English speakers’ new desire to learn Mandarin is that so many Chinese businessmen who do business with the West now speak English.  So Americans, Brits, and other businessmen whose native language is English want to learn Mandarin to better communicate with their business partners in the East. The American businessman who can speak conversational Mandarin may get the deal or land the job over the one who cannot.

The best time to learn Mandarin is not after already having entered the workforce but before even graduating from high school. Better Grades In-Home Tutoring now offers tutoring in Standard Mandarin by native Mandarin speakers here in the Greater Vancouver area and Clark County.
