Mandarin has always been a language that I wanted to master ever since I took it has my secondary subject in highschool, I also think that it is very important to learn mandarin since nowadays it is one of the most spoken language in the world. The desire to learn chinese has inspire me to travel to China to learn mandarin after graduating from highschool, I chose Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU) since my uncle went there and recommended it, also notable alumni such as Sylvie Bermann also studied there. Beijing Language and Culture University is also well known for it's great learning environment, with experienced teachers and good teaching methods, I am sure that I will improve my chinese in the year I will spend in BLCU.
