Is Chinese worth learning? Is Chinese the language of the future?

and france

Learn cantonese, its what the rich people speak.

>Doesn't the nation/culture in the highest power determine the language? Happened with England/America and English. Latin before.
Not entirely, Japanese never really got big despite their large influence.
Same with Italian.

People keep asking this, but what are you planning on doing with your life after you learn Mandarin? If you would love to conduct a business then yes, I highly recommend it.

You think English has won, then? In the language department, I mean?

Business reasons strictly, yeah.

>too much glyphs to be remembered (can remember this and that but not enough for anything serious)
okey, words themself are not big issue, just the writing
>super crazy compound words (finnish is nothing compared to chinese on this one)
Cant seriously go for anything but simple vocabulary and "i have"/"you have"-tier grammar.

I mean, you are speaking English.

Good point.

A wise Jow Forums user once said: If you learn Chinese (or Russian) to put it in your CV, you will be made to deal with Chinese (or Russian) people, and you will regret it.

Well either stay with English as Lingu Franca or we’ll be forced to do mandatory Esperanto courses in state financed soros academies

esbranto would probably be best imo

Not really.
>Happened with England/America and English.
English became the lingua franca because the English colonial empire had the better spread. You fixate a ton on the US, but half of Africa was British, and India and Australia were important on the other side of the world.
Every other important language is way too limited in scope. Spanish is only relevant in one section of the world, Chinese even more concentrated, same goes with Arabic and Indian languages.

English wouldn't be the lingua franca just because of the USA, admitting that would be akin to admiting that Chinese will become the lingua franca if China surpasses them, something that's unlikely.

>You fixate a ton on the US, but half of Africa was British
I believe I said because of England/America. I never said it was only because of the US.

I find it to be a lot of fun and it isn't to hard. Although I am still rather a beginner.

>China is the future, but the language is not.
there's already more chinese speakers and readers than english. it's the largest spoken language in the world.
>you have to deal with chinese if you learn mandarin. it's better to learn spanish so you can get hired at mcdonalds. 6 figure job isn't worth it at all

You'll get the same job as the person who doesn't speak mandarin with the same salary, only when a chink calls they'll put him through to you and you'll have to deal with their bullshit. I hear they're lovely people.

El español es el lenguaje del futuro. Speak spanish or die

Chinese language is very easy to learn.
The key part is pronouncing the words in a singsong manner which cannot be described through reading.
A learner needs to hear it in person.

For example:
if you want to ask:
Where can I find a good recipe for cooking dog meat?
you'll say,
cheeeng chung peen poung?
with emphasis in the elongated ching.

KEK. No.
