![]() Missouri Southern State University - Chinese We offer the following languages you may choose to study: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian and Spanish. Of the 6.7 billion people in the world 13.22% speak Chinese (Mandarin), 4.88% speak Spanish, 4.68% speak English and 3.12% speak Arabic (Source: The CIA World Fact Book). Those account for the top four languages spoken with Russian, French and German rounding out the top eleven in the world. But those percentages account only for first language speakers. The number of those who speak English as a second language is expected to swell dramatically as schools across Asia are teaching English as early as Grade 1 (Source: Asia Times Online). 3950 E Newman Road Joplin, Missouri MO 64801-1595 United States Fax Fax: 417-625-9585 Phone Phone: 417-625-3106 Tuition charges Tuition fees: Please check website for details.
