Re: New Language: Chinese or Japanese
Alright listen puto.
Mandarin Chinese aka 'Putonghua' is the next biggest thing. China is rapidly becoming part of the world market and Yankees who speak "the common language" (putonghua) will be treated like <font color="yellow">GOLD</font>.
Japan's GNP is off the hook but Japanese is only really useful in Japan, wheras Chinese spreads far and wide. ("Chinatowns everywhere!")
Anyway, despite all this, I say you should ditch the plans to learn a difficult language in college.
Trust me, college is going to [censored] you up more than you can anticipate and learning one of the hardest languages and complex writing systems will just put an extra burden on you.
Choose Spanish, it's fun, easy, and in 10 years Latinos will make up I think 40% of the US population. (read that somewhere while drunk)
So yeah, choose Spanish, trust me. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
