The written word is the same everywhere. Long ago, the Chinese emperors recognized this problem and created a trade dialect called Mandarin. This enabled merchants to more easily trade goods from one end of the country to the other. I will be teaching Mandarin, the trade dialect, and Mainland China’s simplified characters.
