Wu language is "a variety of Chinese dialects spoken in Shanghai, in southeastern Jiangsu Province, and in Zhejiang Province by more than 8 percent of the population of China (some 85 million people) at the turn of the 21st century." (Encyclopaedia Britannica). Suzhou dialect, also known as "Suzhounese", is regarded as the prestige variety of Wu language. SZZX-ID, located in the heart of Suzhou, has the privilege to use the ancient city as our campus. The students of SZZX-ID are lucky to have easy access to the profound Wu culture in its various forms. Thus, learning Suzhou dialect becomes a must for SZZX-ID students, so that they could interact and communicate with the local Suzhounese more effectively. By learning and using the local dialect in its real setting, the students also gain insights into the local Wu culture.
