About a year and a half ago I had the chance of doing an internship in mainland China. After four years of studying Chinese I felt this was the best way of furthering my language skills. It was a great experience, pushing me to apply for a master's in Taiwan. So far I've been here for almost three months and until now have really enjoyed my stay.

Mandarin speaking Briton to star in a Chinese sitcom

Bilingual Briton c has beaten off stiff competition to land a role in a new Chinese sitcom, Ciao Britain.

Having studied Mandarin at Sheffield University, 24-year-old, ended up working as a translator even though he always harboured hopes to one day become an actor.

But when the call came for an English actor to play a struggling graduate in a Chinese sitcom Mr Heathcote jumped at the opportunity.

See the BBC interview with Mr Heathcote

Why speaking English can make you poor when you retire

Not all languages require the use of a future tense

Could the language we speak skew our financial decision-making, and does the fact that you're reading this in English make you less likely than a Mandarin speaker to save for your old age?
