Philippe Laurent, founder of MandarinMaster, testifies:
“By learning Chinese, I discovered that it was possible and I entered a fascinating multi-millennial culture with my Western eyes.”
“Learning Chinese is not that difficult and is definitely worth it: you just need a method and see an advantage in it.”
By creating this new platform for learning Chinese, Mandarin Master has the mission to offer everyone the chance to make Chinese a personal and professional asset. “Because yes, learning Chinese is an opportunity.”
To really get started withLearning Chinese, you need to:
“In fact,” says Philippe, “my two drivers have been curiosity and desire: who are the Chinese, why are they so different from us? How do I prepare to go to China to work with them?”
“Since language is a convention for communicating between peers, it is the ideal gateway to understanding a culture. With Chinese, this is obvious.”
In fact, A Chinese character It even visually shows us how the Chinese perceive nature, the elements, men and women, men and women, the family, their nation, work, interpersonal relationships, situations, etc. The way in which characters are constructed (with radicals) reveals to us what matters to the Chinese.
In Chinese there are characters to express negation but no characters to say YES or NO?
This may seem incredible to us... and it is very enlightening:
We French people ask easily “So is it yes or is it no?”
If we put a Chinese person in front of this dilemma, he will be embarrassed and will be able to smile. Because the Chinese person is never categorical and does not take a position in a binary and clear-cut manner. He always takes the time to observe the context before judging an idea, action, or situation. Son Positioning is not a matter of principle but a strategic one with the aim of making the most of the situation without putting the relationship at risk.
The crisis in Chinese is called (wéi jī), which is to say a mixture of risk () and opportunity (). For a Chinese person, the crisis is one moment at a time risky and timely where dangers must be avoided and new opportunities must be prepared.
Finally, a very positive vision of the problems, failures or trials that can affect an individual, a group, a nation.
We could extend the list but let's move on to Chinese as a professional asset.
Philippe recognizes today: “it was really my knowledge and my practice of Chinese that allowed me toevolve professionally until I achieve my dream: going to China to work there.”
He adds “I believe that it is thanks to this unique experience that I understand today The need for management which combines the requirement of the square and the flexibility of the round”.
In addition to using Chinese on a daily basis as a working language with his team or clients, Philippe was able to perceive the benefits of pragmatic and silent wisdom, very different from Greek wisdom (more logical and oral), which leaves time to time, allows unconstrained things to happen and favors the conditions of success rather than imposing success as an objective.
