1.0 INTRODUCTION

Mandarin is one of the languages that is often used in Malaysia.
Nowadays, usage of Mandarin had increased in many sectors especially
in business sector. Many non-Chinese people are learning basic
Mandarin to succeed in business. By mastering the Mandarin language,
Malaysians can communicate more easily with each other, especially
the Chinese people. Not only that, Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk
Seri Najib Tun Razak once emphasized that communication plays an
important role in building relationship and skills will facilitate efforts
towards progress of this country. Therefore, the emphasis on learning
Mandarin cannot be taken lightly because it can manifest various
positive impacts. In this COVID-19 pandemic situation, teachers and
students were adopted to e-learning. We’re publishing this mandarin e-
magazine to attract more individuals to learn Mandarin. This happens
because e-magazines easier for everyone to read it wherever they are.
Last but not least, e-magazines too can reduce usage of paper.

5.0 CONCLUSION

In a nutshell, this e-magazine makes everybody able to
learn about food and its related vocabularies easily in
Mandarin with English translation. Vocabulary helps
readers to gain a new level of maturity because of the
increased knowledge. Secondly, you’ll learn short and
easy sentences in Mandarin which they can use in their
daily life. In addition, you’ll learn about having a simple
conversation in Mandarin. Because of this, they can
communicate easily in Mandarin with others. By
learning Mandarin, you can get to know about Chinese
culture, especially about their food. Last but not least,
Studies have been done on this, which means learning
Chinese takes intensive brainpower. English speakers
use the left temporal lobe. Mandarin speakers use both!
In addition to using both sides of your temporal lobe,
bilingual people are better at prioritising and multitasking
than monolingual people.
