Learn Chinese in Essen
Why Chinese?
China is the third-largest country in the world by area and highly populous. If you learn Chinese, you can communicate with about 1.4 billion people worldwide. It has a culture that goes back a long way and is nothing like that of Europe. Economically, learning the language is worthwhile too — in 2020, China was Germany's largest trading partner for the fifth year in a row. If you want to understand the mindset of a culture, you should start by understanding its language.
