What Can Mandarin Do for Me?

There has never been a better time to learn a second (or third, or fourth) language. With more apps, learning games, interactive media, podcasts, blogs and vlogs than you can shake a stick at, we are living in the Golden Age of language learning. What a time to be alive!

But while learners are spoiled for choice, the first question might ring loudest: Which language should I learn? And it's a good one. After all, learning a language is a project measured in years and decades, not weeks and months. You want to make the right choice. You want to choose a language that will benefit you, that will enrich your life, that will be more than merely an intellectual exercise but something that you grow to love!
