Mandarin är det enda officiella språket i Folkrepubliken Kina och Taiwan. Det är också ett officiellt språk i Singapore. Den version som uTalk undervisar använder förenklade tecken och pinyin translitteration. Kinesiska är ett tonalt språk och du måste vara försiktig med att inte säga något helt annat än vad du menar, genom att betona olika ljud - så lyssna noggrant!
