GUEST2751 Chinese language will take the place of English as the worldwide common language someday in the near future. Last year, countless confucius institutes were founded around the world. The institutes aimed at spreading Chinese language and its culture.

GUESTEXPATS Chinese is certainly an import language since over 1.3 billion people use it. However, Chinese will never become a dominant global language because it is difficult to learn and master as a second language.

I think English would still play a dominant role at least within my lifespan (I am 25 now) as far as its widely usage concerned.

Chinese is sort of difficult for foreigners because it's not alphabetic.

BTW, French sounds great to me and I cannot help to learn it! but tres difficile...
