Mandarin Chinese is the most spoken language on the planet, with more than 1 billion speakers. China is one of New Zealand’s major trading partners and, as a fast growing economy with high migrant numbers, is likely to become more important to New Zealand in the coming years. Learning Chinese facilitates and enriches travel to mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore, as well as other South-East Asian countries. For New Zealanders, learning Chinese helps increase your employment options and improve your business relationships.
