You can learn Chinese at the TAG-Confucius Institute (TAG-CI) . TAG-CI was established at the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh College of Business premises on September 29, 2007. The Academy was set up for the purpose of assisting individuals, particularly business people, entrepreneurs and economists, in learning the language of the leading economic power in the world.

Fascinated by China's rapid technological development and economic growth, people around the world started to realize the importance of the Chinese language and the benefits their countries can get when they acquire the basic communication skills of such a language. In addition, learning the language helps people develop their businesses since Chinese is the language of future business.

Learning Chinese will enable businessmen to communicate with Chinese potential partners or clients in order to expand their work. China is currently witnessing the fastest growing economy in the world, and is widely regarded as the potentially biggest global market in the twenty-first century.

Thus, speaking Chinese will help you find jobs in various fields such as business, international relations, information technology (IT), tourism, education, translation and others. Another reason for learning Chinese is the fact that the language itself is nearly spoken by a quarter of the world's population, not only those who live in China, Taiwan, and Singapore, but also throughout South East Asia, North America, and Europe. In addition, learning Chinese is an extraordinary experience through which you can expose yourself to a different culture. Unlike most languages, Chinese has a unique ideographic writing system which provides visual comprehensibility.

The grammatical structure of Chinese is not only logical, but also pragmatic, related to the particular way of Chinese thinking. Acquiring the knowledge of the written language will help you open up to the culture of one of the world's oldest civilizations.
