A free iPhone app is set to come to the rescue of those stuck for business-related words or phrases in Mandarin. Speaking at the launch of the 33 rd edition of the Speak Mandarin Campaign yesterday, Education Minister Heng Swee Keat gave the app, iHuayu, his stamp of approval. “Technology is a great leveller, and can be used to great effect in leveling up linguistic competencies,” he said. He was addressing MPs and business and clan leaders at a full 300-capacity auditorium on the SMU campus.
