I started the classes because I've been working in finance over in China for sometime. I finally got sick of being the most inept and ignorant, culturally, in the meeting room. Their lessons for industry-specific Mandarin has been immensely helpful to me. I can now communicate better with partners and clients--and this has created stronger business relationships. I'm glad I went with it and have stuck to it. To my surprise, I'm actually learning the Mandarin.
