Introducing myself: Why am I learning Mandarin? Ni Hao! My name is Amber. I have almost twenty-three years of speaking English under my belt. I hear that English is one of the most complicated languages to learn. So, why learn Mandarin? I hear, and believe, that is also one of the most complicated languages to learn. I am fascinated by it's beauty. Mandarin is not only a beautiful language, but those who speak it have a beautiful culture. Although I do not know very much Mandarin now, I hope to learn more as the days pass.
