 Chinese Language Program   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Chinese is a language spoken in numerous regions and countries, so we try to familiarize learners with Mandarin as spoken in China, Taiwan, and elsewhere.
As regards characters, we believe that full proficient in written Chinese requires the ability to recognize both traditional and simplified Chinese characters, though after the first-year level, we leave the choice of which type of characters to write to the learner.
In first-year Chinese we begin with traditional characters, since simplified characters were in most cases derived from the traditional ones, and -- if one is to learn both anyway -- it is easier to move from traditional to simplified than vice versa.
