[quote=GRIZ326,372318] 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[/quote]
