China, officially known as the People’s Republic of China, is the most populated country in the world with 1.4 billion people. 

Thus it stands to reason that learning Chinese is definitely a good idea if only to be able to potentially communicate with 1.4 billion people. However, while Mandarin is the main dialect of Chinese, it would be a good idea to know that there are many regional dialects of Chinese such as Yue, Wu and Minbei. Consider that you are an individual studying or working in China. While the smart thing to do would be to learn Chinese BEFORE you go to China, circumstances may mean that this isn’t always the case.

Familiarise yourself with the common words used in Chinese.

The very first step would be to familiarize yourself with the most common words used by the Chinese in everyday life. By familiarizing yourself with the most common words used in everyday mandarin you can quickly secure yourself a strong base in Chinese and gain the confidence needed to face public life in China. After that it is a simple matter of using your learned Chinese in everyday life. This will permit you to practice in-real-life and at the same time understand the nuances that go into speaking Chinese in everyday life.

Learning Chinese in China can be very immersive and an incredible experience.

Being able to speak the mother tongue in a place like China would definitely smoothen things for you if you were to find yourself working or studying there. You would be able to traverse the length and breath of the country with ease without having to rely on translation apps all the time. And the locals would likely be more trusting of a person who can speak their tongue and perhaps help you out more if needed. In this blog, we will look at your options to learn Chinese while you’re already in China.

However, what if you don’t have too much time to spend pursuing an online course or find and learn the Chinese words by yourself? 

Well the answer to that is simple. You should consider looking up free online courses that offer you the same functionality without you having to spend your valuable limited time manually searching the coursework to understand Chinese. While you could find whatever dialect of Chinese you wish to study, it stands to reason that you would be better off learning Mandarin Chinese solely because it is the most popular dialect. After that, you might want to consider where exactly you are located and what the most popular dialect is in that region. Balance these two considerations and make your decision.
