With thousands of years of continuous history, China is one of the world’s oldest civilizations. The beauty of Hanzi 漢字, the traditional form of Chinese characters, is worth preserving. The Chinese language is now one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, and we are seeing more eager language learners! Students will find that some of the benefits of learning Chinese includes work, volunteer, and travel opportunities where you will be able to utilize and improve your Chinese skills. Studying overseas with the Chinese language program may be one of the most memorable experiences you can have (when it is safe to go abroad again), creating new friendships and learning the rich culture and traditions that go with it. Whether you are a beginner, novice or even fluent in Mandarin, UBC Asian Studies has Chinese language courses fit for your level, offering both non-native and native speakers courses. Even with remote learning, you have the chance to use and improve your Mandarin skills through interactions with your courses, peers and beyond. Find out about even more exciting ways to learn Chinese such as the Chinese Speech Contest and going abroad with Li-jung Lee (UBC Visiting Lecturer, Chinese Language), Jennifer Packet (BIE’19, Senior Analyst at KPMG Canada) and Liam LaForce (Political Science/International Relations student minoring in Chinese Language and Culture). Prepare any questions you have for our panelists and get ready to get motivated in learning Chinese! For further details, please visit: https://asia.ubc.ca/events/event/webinarchinese-language-talk/
