Huan Ying2! Welcome :)
Here at Mandarin.Com.My,
we teach you the UNIVERSAL MANDARIN Chinese language. Yes, the OFFICIAL Mandarin
Chinese language of China (People's Republic of China). It is the one and only
world standard for the Mandarin Chinese language.
In all our Mandarin Chinese language courses
and seminars, we teach you nothing but PROPER & GOOD MANDARIN: the universal
official Mandarin of China that is spoken all over the world.
We will NEVER teach you "localised Mandarin" like "Shanghai Mandarin",
"Guangzhou Mandarin", "HongKong Mandarin", "Taiwan Mandarin", "Singapore Mandarin",
"Malaysia Mandarin", etc. Why?
As Mandarin Chinese language “LaoShi” (teacher/s) and researchers,
we always advocate speaking only one kind of Mandarin:
the official version of the Mandarin Chinese language from China
(People’s Republic of China).
That is the one and only UNIVERSAL MANDARIN Chinese language recognised worldwide.
It is the world standard for Mandarin that everyone who wants to speak the
Chinese language must learn and master.
It is a futile attempt and definitely on the wrong path, if you choose to
learn "localised" Mandarin instead. Very often, we have people who asked
us whether we could teach them "Taiwan Mandarin" or "Shanghai Mandarin".
Why? Just because they are going to either Taiwan (Republic of China)
or Shanghai (in People’s Republic of China).
It never occur to a lot of people that the Mandarin Chinese language is becoming a
widely spoken language all over the world. If you want to speak Mandarin, you have
to learn the official UNIVERSAL MANDARIN Chinese language that you can communicate
effectively with any Chinese anywhere in the world.
A lot of people who choose the "more convenient path" of learning "localised Mandarin",
are in for a lot of frustrations in the future when they realised that their
"localised Mandarin" is so “funny” when they try to communicate with someone
in Beijing who speak the official Mandarin Chinese language.
The same frustrations and embarrassing moments await those who learn localised
Mandarin languages like: "Shanghai Mandarin"; "Guangzhou Mandarin";
"HongKong Mandarin; "Taiwan Mandarin"; "Malaysia Mandarin"; "Singapore Mandarin"; etc.
Why?
Because "localised Mandarin" or "regionalised Mandarin" tend to have accents,
slanks or a mix of words from other local languages.
For example, many phrases and expressions in Mandarin in Malaysia and Singapore
are actually "borrowed" from other local languages like the Malay language
or the Indian language … all for the sake of "convenience".
When you speak this kind of "mixed-up Mandarin" in these 2 countries,
not many people will notice what's wrong with it.
Why? Because almost everyone speaks that kind of Mandarin.
But what happen when one day you need to go do business or work in
China or Taiwan? All of a sudden you notice the many mistakes and
"un-Mandarin" words that you are so used to. You will be so embarrassed that you
are afraid to even speak in Mandarin!
If a person speaks "localised Mandarin", others who speak good Mandarin will have
a bad impression of him / her. At some places and situations, that person might
even be laughed at. People who speak "localised Mandarin" will also have
lots of problems communicating effectively and clearly with one another (if they are from different parts of the world).
"Localised Mandarin" tend to have a strong "local flavour" and it is greatly
influenced by the most widely spoken local dialect/s or language/s.
For example, in Taiwan, most of the Taiwanese tend to speak the "Min Nan" or
"Fu Jian" Chinese dialect. So, "Taiwan Mandarin" tend to have a very strong "Min Nan"
flavour in its pronunciation and also "unique words".
At the same time, "Taiwan Mandarin" tend to have many additional
"unique words" that are actually translated from the pronunciation of
Japanese words. And all these unique words are only spoken and applicable in
Taiwan and not elsewhere! See?
At the same time, the Chinese in China territories like HongKong and Guangzhou,
that speak a lot of Cantonese Chinese dialect, will also face the same "localised Mandarin" problem.
The "HongKong Mandarin" or "Guangzhou Mandarin" tend to have very strong
"Cantonese flavour". When you speak this kind of Mandarin in other parts of the
country or the world, people will find it funny or “weird”. See?
"Localised Mandarin" is a problem that not just Malaysia and Singapore needs to
tackle. Even China itself is working hard to address this problem. In 2005,
it was reported in the press that the Shanghai municipal government pleaded with
the Shanghainese to abandon "Shanghai Mandarin", and they even set a
10-year goal for all Shanghainese to speak proper official Mandarin.
We know it is not easy to switch from speaking "localised Mandarin" to
"official universal Mandarin", but we really have to work hard to do it.
We simply have no choice.
In order to communicate effectively in the Mandarin Chinese language and with
the Chinese all over the world, speaking the universal official Mandarin Chinese language
of China is a must.
At the end of the day, the ability to speak
GOOD and PROPER Mandarin Chinese language will command the respect of the
Chinese all over the world and give anyone that added "edge".
So, if you want to learn the Mandarin Chinese language,
learn the UNIVERSAL official Mandarin.
If you want to master the Chinese language whether for business or leisure,
master the UNIVERSAL official Mandarin Chinese language.
