Chinese is the most widely spoken language in the world
Chinese culture is both rich and far-reaching and China is today the world's fastest-growing major economy. As China is becoming increasingly important to New Zealand's future, it is crucial that we know more about Chinese culture, history, political and economic system. Learning Chinese language is an essential first step towards this understanding.
