It is true that China may become the #1 world power in our lifetime. However, I doubt the Chinese language will ever be #1. The reasons are easy:

* for a foreign speaker to learn Chinese they must learn both pinyin AND Chinese characters so it is like learning two different languages at the same time

* Chinese characters provide few keys to word pronunciation

* The Chinese tonal language is at least as difficult to learn as English

English is becoming a global language you know. So to meet the globalization needs, we need to learn more from the world....

GUEST84132 Hey, whas up

English is an international language and many people are learning it throughout the world but I really
think that it should be a optional language to learn...

Asian people want to stand up and face the world more and show that they are not puny.
That's why theyy want to learn the international language (English) more than others do.

America is a high place and it overcomes lower places like China.
That's why people use English so much...
TO be more international!

GUEST84132 You're right! I think so too but why od you think that China is low?
It is according to standards, though......

English is an international language and most people use it but why?
Why isn't it French or Spanish?

GUEST86104 Everyone should learn English because it is the dominant language of the Earth, if everyone learns English the entire world will be able to communicate through words fluently and easily, this does not mean that all other languages need be forgotten or that English is the best language, it is just the most common. Eventually the entire world will speak English, it is inevitable and it will be a good thing.
