Hello everyone! I'm 21 year-old university tech. student interested in learning Mandarin Chinese. I also have some knowledge of Russian, Swedish and ofc my mother tongue: Finnish. The reason why I'm learning Chinese is the interest in Chinese/Asian culture and the usefulness of it in working life. As everyone well knows China is on it's way of becoming the biggest economy in the world, so it really can't hurt to learn some of the most spoken language in the world, now can it? I'm also thinking about going to China for exchange, so making friends will probably be easier if I can speak at least little bit of their language. :) Nice to meet you all!
