China.
People call it the factory of the world.
And who can argue?
The rate of its recent economic rise is nothing short of staggering.
Every Global Fortune 500 company and just about every other business wants to either switch manufacturing there or sell their products there or both.
And guess what?
In case it wasn't clear - the first language of the people there is NOT English.
They speak Mandarin (or their local dialect), and while a few speak English well and some speak a few words of English, the vast majority of the 1.3 billion citizens do not speak English and probably never will. They just don't need to.
But what if one of these good folk has something that you want to buy?
Or could help you find a major new customer?
As you probably know, English is still the #1 language of global commerce.
Some time ago, many Chinese businessmen and professionals saw the future and decided to invest in learning English and many have achieved it to varying degrees. Some by getting their education in the USA, Canada, UK or Australia. Others through using those language CD's, others watching old English-language movies or listening to the BBC radio. Some even with an old-fashioned hard copy dictionary.
Whichever way they chose to learn English, they have made progress, despite the obvious challenges posed by the completely different character sets, which has made it an uphill battle for most.
But what you might not know is that Chinese is the #2 language and is catching up fast.
That is the new future.
So now's the time for you to see the future and learn some basics so you don't miss out on the boom in China.
Still not convinced?
Did you know:
At least 1 billion people speak Chinese as a first language?
China is now the world's 4th largest economy, bigger than major economies like the UK or France or Italy or Canada or India?
China has more mobile phones than the USA?
China has 2 of the busiest ports in the world?
China has at least 6 cities with populations greater than either New York or London?
When will it become the #1 economy in the world?
Some people think it could happen by 2020. Who can say?
But one thing is not in dispute.
China is going to continue growing and yes, the ability of Chinese businessmen to speak English will improve but for you to get a piece of the China pie, whether as a businessman or an employee of a Fortune 1000 (or indeed any) company, your knowledge of Chinese should be growing.
And your Chinese proficiency should be growing at a rate that's faster than your competitors, otherwise you will be going backwards. And that growth needs to START NOW.
This is why in the USA alone:
Billions of dollars of taxpayers' cash is being pumped into promoting the learning the Chinese language.
Every major company is investing in ramping up their employees' language skills.
The "Learning Chinese by Tape/CD" market is doing unusually good business.
Chinese is replacing Japanese as the major language to learn for doing business.
Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Lucy Liu movies are more popular than ever.
Travel to China is at an all-time high.
Chinese food & well it continues to add to the great American waistline!
And not forgetting that the Beijing 2008 Olympics are less than 2 years away.
And what are YOU doing about all this China growth?
Where does all this excitement about China leave you when it comes to doing business there? Or even taking a vacation to some of the most beautiful places on the planet, which happen to be situated in China?
Simple - without some basic words and phrases, you will be operating with a major handicap.
And not just for this deal you are working on.
But for your business or career in general.
There will be more and more of such deals. More and more of such opportunities.
Be honest. How well are you positioned to catch the wave?
You may have a great business deal to offer but if you can't communicate it properly, not even able to get a conversation started, then you are going to be second best. And in business, the best deals just don't go to the second best.
So why not try to learn some Chinese?
Ah yes, you don't have much time, right? Too busy right? Can't find the right tool, right? Costs too much, right?
Well, we've removed all these excuses, so you won't have any more reason to procrastinate.
