How to use 推广
推广 is used for spreading methods, policies, languages, or products to a wider group. It often takes an object directly, and it also works as a noun for marketing or promotion work. Example: 学校在推广普通话。(Xuéxiào zài tuīguǎng Pǔtōnghuà.) The school is promoting Mandarin.
推 (tuī) means to push, and 广 (guǎng) means wide. To 推广 is to push something out wide so more people know it or use it.
Common mistake: Learners often mix up 推广 and 推动 (tuīdòng). 推广 means spreading something to more people or places, while 推动 means pushing a process or change forward, as in 推动改革 (push reform forward). Also keep 广 in third tone, not fourth.
