I often hear a lot of "Chinese is the language of the future" comments from people who think they are really intelligent.
I was thinking it over and I do not believe this to be true.
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?
