The mispronunciation of a Chinese character can distinctly alter the meaning of a sentence. Similarly, subtle modulations within the language create significant variations consistently. Hence, grasping a language as elaborate as ‘Mandarin’ is determined by the eloquence and articulate nature of the tutor. The Mandarin Institute of Sri Lanka resolves this conundrum impeccably through the institute’s sublime panel of teachers.
Nevertheless, in societies across the world, the value of a ‘teacher’ is unfathomable. Yet the value of a ‘great teacher’ can never be described in words.
