Hi everyone. I am going to China next year and am even considering to get a job out there. Of course I won't be getting very far if I don't speak the language so I want to do a good Mandarin course. Have you any suggestion where I could get one of those? Thanks for your comments!
Don't make any mistake about it. Mandarin, and especially the written Chinese characters, are one of the most complex linguistic systems you can find anywhere. This is not something you just learn for a holiday. If you are serious about it though, the only good place to learn is at university.
