And if you're going to learn a language learning the most spoken one in the world seems like a pretty fucken' good idea. If you had to learn another icky, inferior non English-language, which would you learn and why?

Don't meltdown so hard. It's just a popular language. I'm sure it wasn't only Chinese men that had sex with your mother for money so you could eat.

by 2050 china will have a GDP thrice the size of the US and EU combined; mandarin will be the new global lingua franca and all culture, science, and diplomacy will be conducted in it; by learning it now, I'll be way ahead of the curve!

I know the way to win arguments on the Internet is to take everything in bad faith and misrepresent the other party's idea but can you just stop. Your posting sucks. Mandarin will not be the lingua franca, and Spanish will pay more economic and social dividends for most native English speakers.

I walk past easily 50 people speaking Mandarin a day, I might overhear 2 people speaking Spanish in a month if lucky. But really most of the people in this thread aren't cool people like me who speak two languages. If you want to extol the virtues of Spanish, por que no han aprendido?

Didn't the only fluent non-chinese mandarin speaker in the thread say don't learn mandarin no matter what because no native chinese mandarin speaker will believe you can speak it due to an intense ingrained racial bias against foreigners being able to do anything chinese?

Probably starting in February after I decide whether to move to America, Spain, Mexico, or Uruguay. And after I've got my JavaScript game down. Only so much time to study in a day. If you want to learn Mandarin do it. If you don't, don't. Stop your racial concern trolling and let's get back to what really matters. Farmers on pigs and plunging.

Learning Mandarin will be an excellent business opportunity for westerners. <American man learns to speak Mandarin> <company sends him to their Chinese factory to sort out their issue with substandard straight bevel gears> <Chinese handlers stare at him like he has two heads when he speaks to them like a native> <Chinese handlers immediately let everyone know the foreigner can speak Mandarin, and that nobody is to discuss the product or any business related things to him> <Chinese handlers talk to him in broken English, refuse to speak Mandarin, and forcefully shoo him away from the factory, making sure he never returns> <The foreigner tries to accomplish what he set out to do (verify the product is being made to the correct specs, but all he gets is, "will go to factory tomorrow" over and over> <Foreigner tries to take a taxi to the factory, but one of the factory men assigned to watch him intercepts the taxi driver and pays him to take the nosy foreigner on a joyride> <After his three weeks in China are up, the foreigner has accomplished nothing more than he did via phone in the US and takes his flight home feeling defeated> <Arrives back in the US office and is reprimanded for not accomplishing his job> <US company receives a shipment of gears that are made of a low-grade metal that is too soft and brittle to be useful> <US company sends another Mandarin speaker to the Chinese factory to sort things out. . . >

In other China Meltdown related news: HKFP reporter surrounded by pro-China protesters at LegCo rally; memory card stolen quote:Leung was taking photos of a group of protesters, who told him they came from Dongguan, China. He was wearing his press pass when he was surrounded by about 20 individuals who grabbed his arms and took his camera away. The incident happened at around 10:15am. So many hurt feelings  Edit: source https://www.hongkongfp.com/2016/10/26/hkfp-reporter-surrounded-pro-china-protesters-legco-rally-memory-card-stolen/
