Parlez-vous Mandarin? Wu(Shanghai) dialect?

One of the best ways to add VALUE to your resume these days is to gain international skills and experience. That means boosting your foreign language skills. www.Dictyon.net for information. Mandarin is arguably the most useful second language in the business world due to China's growing economic prowess. However, if you are in Shanghai to see the tallest building in the world,it would be desirable to learn and speak Wu(Shanghai) dialect. Books have been published by Jiaotong University Press if interested. Francis Shieh aka Xie Shihao,a native of Shanghai and taught Mandarin and Shanghai dialect for many years. "A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" in English Cf. www.Amazon.com online book catalog for reference.
Core values make the educated what it is; without them, we cannot succeed. They are values that instill confidence and earn lasting respect. They are the values that buttress mental and physical courage when we enter China. In essence, they are the two pillars of professionalism that provide the foundation for understanding folks with other culture at every level. September 15, 2007
