Introduction
This report seeks to evaluate the overall importance and relevancy of a website that coherently presents the Chinese language to Icelanders. The website’s target audience would be Icelanders planning trips to China or Icelanders simply interested in learning the language.
Given the combination of airfares constantly lowering and modern technology in communication the distance between the two countries has been reduced dramatically. As a result we would like to make learning Chinese as accessible for Icelanders as possible.
It is important to recall that China has one of the oldest civilizations and there is an approximately 1.052.000.000 people that speak Chinese. Table one shows the most widely spoken languages in the world.
