Cool Stuff in Chinese




Cool Stuff in Chinese

As time goes by China only becomes more important on the world stage. China has the largest population, and the 2nd-largest economy in the world.  And yet, few people in the West know much about China, its rich literature, or its fascinating language. And Mandarin btw is the world's 2nd-most used language, next only to English.

If you're interested in the Chinese language, Taoism, Sunzi Art of War, or linguistics, or culture, or martial arts, there's probably something in this course for you.

And whether you know almost nothing about the Chinese language, or whether you've already studied it, even for a few years, there's also still probably something here for you. There's an unusual range of content here. See Lao Tse and Sun Tse in the original! Learn some "colorful" slang! Count with your fingers! And more!

This is one of the few places you'll see great Chinese classics in the original. There's a focus on the I Ching (Book of Changes), Dao De Jing (Classic of the Virtue of the Way) and Sunzi Bingfa (Art of War).  These books rank among the world's great literature; all three of them are regularly quoted by leaders in politics, culture, and business to this day!
