I'm not a native German speaker by any stretch, but I gave it a read, and found these 2 issues:
Line 1: ...eine Wort... -> ein Wort
Oxford Englisch Wörterbuchs -> I would not translate the title of the dictionary at all

Uuups,... thanks! Even when I read it 5 times, still didn't notice that mistake.....
I have some educated German friends that may be able to take the time to look these over. Would you be willing to compensate their time in any way? I don't think they would require market value for editing, but they may be more likely to participate if there is some kind of economic incentive.
Actually I want to make a contribution and wont get any money out of this translation. Right now I am not in the position to give any money. I was hoping for someone to contribute as well. I have some friends in Germany who are interested in the topic and might help me with proofreading.
My hope is that I get the approval from Stef once the translation is done.

. I started trying to learn Mandarin after doing considerable business with companies in Taiwan and China in the past five years. My school learning of languages was Spanish and Latin, which really did not help me with this.I also had Latin and French in school and was very unscessful. So I taught Mandarin basically by myself which was way more sucessfull. I am fluent in Mandarin or better 台灣國話 (Taiwan Guoyu) can talk business and read and wirte traditional Chinese.

1. Chinese is very difficult to learn in comparison to English and Spanish and other Languages.
2 China is teaching many of their students Mandarin/English/Spanish while most schools around the world are not learning Mandarin
3. People often believe Chinese is the language of the future simply because the Chinese have a huge population. However, their population is all in one area while English and other mainly European languages spread all over the world.
So your thoughts? Will a Chinese language like Mandarin and Cantonese be the language of the future.
1. There are no "difficult" or "easy" to learn languages! For Cantonese speakers Mandarin is very easy to learn! So is English for Germans. The question is how far away is the foreign language from your mother tongue.
2. Lots of schools in Asia teach Mandarin.
3. Lots of Chinese live all over Asia and US and even some in Europe.
However if Mandarin will be the language of the future probably depends on many other factors. 1914 the whole world spoke French, now 100 years later it is English. Possible that in 100 years the whole world speaks Mandarin. For millenniums China was the center of the world.

Great idea. I try the same with a translation into German.
I can tell you it is not for the German only speakers. It is a difficult topic and if you are not very fluent in English, you will give up reading.
