[quote=GRIZ326,375458]Myself and two shipmates were walking down Nanjing Boulevard in Shanghai in 1978 and had a throng of people following us to listen to us talk. We eventually asked an old man among them and he told us in perfect English that they were trying to learn a little English. For better or worse, American English is the language of the world because it is the language of technology. The Chinese government and the people are smart enough to just say, "Okay, let's learn it." ...rather than put up the resistance to American English that is commonly found in Europe. ...and American English is a lot easier to learn to speak than Chinese. :)[/quote]
