hard to learn as a second language?
by Lily Chao
Many foreign friends of mine are complaining to me that Chinese is
so hard to learn: the ridiculously difficult writing system, the

being born Chinese. Is Chinese really that hard to learn as a
foreign language?

A brief history
and classification of Chinese characters
by Lily Chao
Chinese characters seem the most difficult part for foreign friends

the Chinese perspective.

A New
Understanding of Career
By Oliver Recklies
Today, companies and employers face new situations in career
planning and personal development. Knowledge workers who strive for
continuous self-improvement and innovation do not see their personal
objective in promotions to ever-higher levels of management.

of expertise without using pre-defined career-paths. On the other
hand, the number of management positions has decreased due to lean
management and flatter hierarchies. Thus, many companies are not
able to offer as many management positions as they had in order to
satisfy all employees with ambitions for career. This article
introduces new elements in the understanding of career.
