Private Conversational Chinese Language Class in Houston

Although the Chinese dialects vary regionally, the Chinese share a common written language. Recognized as the oldest written language in the world, we subdivide it into three forms: simplified, traditional, and informal slang.

Traditional Chinese characters are taught and used by the Chinese in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Korea, Japan, and many other places. Several textbooks, newspapers, and even subtitles for movies are written in traditional Chinese.

Informal slang characters are used in addition to traditional Chinese characters in an informal setting, such as comics or the entertainment sections of newspapers and magazines.

In an attempt to make the Chinese language more understandable to the western world, China developed the "pinyin" (pin-yin) system which utilizes the western alphabet and spelling to pronounce Chinese words.
