Fact: Mandarin is the most useful Asian language or most useful difficult language.
>If you are learning Arabic, Japanese, Korean, etc... STOP. You are wasting your time, pick up Mandarin.
If you learn Mandarin you will earn 6 figures or at least be gainfully employed for the rest of your life, Mandarin is one of the most sought after skills due to the massive global importance of the language. Just speaking it is a key to success. What does Japanese or Korean get you? Probably "That's nice but we aren't really interested thank you."
Mandarin is also super easy compared to languages like Arabic and Japanese, Japanese is probably 1.2-1.5x harder than Mandarin, thats crazy to think about.
Also semi-related.
Fact: China will have one of the highest HDI's and wealth per citizen in East-Asia within the next 15 years
>Meanwhile places like Japan and South Korea will fall in both regards, China will by 2050 will be ahead of both in HDI.]
Fact: China is a welcoming and open country
>Places like Japan/Thailand/SKorea are xenophobic, foreign people will struggle to make a good life compared to China.
I don't ever fucking want to be able to communicate with filthy dog chinks in the first place. If I made friends with chinks they would just try to hack my computers and phone and steal my shit. They have no virtue as humans.

Supaparor by 2050!

China is a giant meme, their country will literally fall apart in 20 years. If not sooner considering its financial troubles they are desperately trying to cover up.
There's nothing to gain out of knowing Chinese except for being able to work with chinks, which is in reality a curse. China doesn't even have any worthwhile media to consume even though it is a country of one billion inhabitants.
This is why I learn Japanese instead. Even if Japan's economy continues to struggle their honor and culture will remain.
As compared to Chinese who have never known honor nor does it have culture anymore.

I actually would, but there are few sources and it is hard! Like very hard!
Hudson Robinson
Name would help
John Garcia
Stupid round eyes. You can't learn Mandarin.
Hunter White
Faddey Bulgarin. However, if you learn Russian language, don't go to Russian Internet
Jordan Cox
What about me?
Jayden Ramirez
Sad!
Jace Taylor
Because I don't fucking want to learn 20 billion squiggly things you use instead of proper words. Get your giant chinky heads out of your yellow asses and invent a proper alphabet like koreans, then we talk
Oliver Johnson
Too lazy, and if I did want to learn a new language I would go with japanese in order to have slightly better odds of sexing up a top-tier asian girl.
Sebastian James
You do realize China has the most beautiful Asian women right
Jason Lopez
You mean Thai men.
Zachary Reyes
One of our Prime Ministers spoke mandarin, he was a smug twat too. Because of this I can pretty safely assume anyone learning mandarin is a smug twat
Adrian Turner
lol no. Some chinese girls are hot, but jp girls are generally better on average.
Wyatt Williams
Because it sounds like utter SHIT
Samuel Hall
noone wants to work with chinks
i want to learn mandarin though and make business with chink
Zachary Phillips
chinese is easy as fuark, it is literally 100% analytic. No plurals, no cases, no conjugations, no inflectional morphemes whatsoever.
Zachary Ortiz
Every language is easy. Just download anki, learn 30+ words a day, and go through a shitload of audio sentences every day (ordeed so that they don't introduce many new words), occasionalyl look up grammar if you really can't figure out an interpretation that makes sense, and you'll become pretty good in just a few months
The only reason people find language hard is because they don't work consistently and don't realize how important it is to just fucking spam vocabulary in the early stages.
Wyatt Bell
>tonal languages Nah, fuck this. It may come naturally to native chingchongs, but for a foreigner its like a whole set of declensions...that you say, in every word. Imagine minding EVERY word, its a torture youtube.com/watch?v=3wV8B4bx1lM

This desu
Why am i learning a language? I couldn't spend years doing Mandarin on some whim to get a "good" job. I need to have real results and fun while doing so.
Japan is a great place to holiday, my favourite place in Asia. China is sorta shitty. Learning Japanese is beneficial for visiting Japan, last time I went which was before I took it up my Japanese N2 speaking friend got us some great dining experiences in small places I wouldn't have bothered in without the language for example.
I don't really care for anime or Manga but of course there are some I enjoy and trying to understand/read them in raw format is a fun way to learn and see results, also Japanese cinema is pretty good and their media is different and pretty fun to experience. Meanwhile China's is pretty shit tier and not worth doing and outside of their history stuff not very interesting.
Lastly I don't want to work in East-Asia or live their, but if I had to go far away from friends and family I don't want to go all the way to a developing country, Japan is a world apart in many regards but I get a good quality of life. (I contend that if I was fluent in Jap or Mandarin and wanted a job in China/Japan I could do either one as easy as each other. Even though Japanese is less good for jobs there are less bilinguals for it so less competition. I'm just one guy looking for one job after all)
Sebastian Kelly
I'm sorry but this is utter shit, Plastic Koreans are the best East-Asians but it ain't real. Japanese Girls are the best natural East-Asians.
Fair enough I guess its personal tastes but Japanese girls have a softer and prettier facial structure and Chinese most of the time. Also Japanese girls more often have more European/western features probably due to the native Jap genetics, while Chinese girls are purely super oriental with the flat face/squinty eyes.
The best part is that you get more Chinese looking Jap girls aswell but you won't really get the other way round.
Oliver Foster

Evan Clark
Yes, what you say make perfect sense, but what you're forgetting is the people you're trying to help here are weeaboos who hate China simply because they think Japanese people hate them. It's the same with Korea. It's like a Paki picking an English football team to root for and then deciding to hate that team's rivals. Even though he's only doing it to fit in. It's kind of pathetic. Ah, I got sidetracked. Anyway, don't waste your breath.
Lincoln Cruz
would learn russian or arab
mainlanders who have an interest in foreign countries learn a language on their own
mostly english but weebs would japanese
i wont have a relationship with normal or wealthy ones who speak english anyway, while i could with weeb chinese
weeb chinese are far better than any other chinese and those you presume as some partner because the weebnese tend to be cultural and love more cultural things in general than to stay materialism, in fact.
Asher Clark
desu the best nips could at least write chinese
favorite poem by a japanese erson happens to be in chinese:

Levi Hall
Yeah, as if I'd learn a language that doesn't even have an alphabet.
No thanks. China is/will remain a shithole for at least the next 100 or so years.
Blake Bell
>This >Shithole
Colton Wood
>Why aren't you learning Mandarin? waste of time. I can order my chinese food in French.
David Thomas
Literally not worth it. If America and Britain were to cease being world powers overnight English is still widespread enough that it would still be the dominate language during at least our lifetime.
Hell, there are even Chinese companies operating in China with almost all chinese employees who conduct business in English
Charles Hill
literally the only langauges with a significant global influence are English, Spanish, and French
Ryan Wright
Yeah fuck English. It sucks being understood pretty much everywhere you go. I need to learn a language from people that don't have an alphabet and are learning English en masse anyway.
Daniel Collins
>It sucks being understood pretty much everywhere you go >WAAAAAAH WHY PEOPLE IN PARIS DON'T UNDERSTAND ME AND ACT LIKE THEY'RE PISSED WAAAAAAAH
You anglos really are the cancer of this world.
Dylan Walker
I'm surprised no one has posted this yet
Jaxson Anderson
That's great mate; but I only said one of those things.
Angel Robinson
Don't act like you don't know what I'm referring to, you angloscum, you know that anglo tourists can't stop whining about people not being proficient in english in their holiday spots.
Nathaniel Robinson
I know what you mean, I just don't give a shit because 1: I didn't say it so it doesn't apply here and 2: Not only do a lot of people in non-English speaking countries speak English quite well but a lot of people from English speaking countries are both impressed by and grateful for it.
Thomas Ramirez
啥,你请说中文吧
Brody Scott
why does an alphabet matter?

Yeah okay I know Mandarin (self taught, lived in Chinkerville), how the fuck does that get me a job?

Landon Adams
>It may come naturally to native chingchongs Exactly, tonal language speakers will have a much easier time. To a Viet and Thai (i guess), Mandarin tones aren't hard at all.
Christopher Baker
>why does an alphabet matter?
Stopped reading right there.
Michael Morales
Why is an alphabet a requirement for a written language, then?
William Green
Every time I spoke French 90% of the time they would speak English to me and often their English was far worse than my French. They act pissed off because they're just cunts. I didn't get treatment like that in other French cities.
Wyatt Adams
Give me advice some for learning it user.
Ethan Wright
> Mandarin Nah I dont want to deal with the Chinese in business, all my senpai who've worked there/ with them say theyre the fucking WORST. I'll stick with French and German seeming as Im going into finance.

Why would you learn a language that has 80,000 symbols for 80,000 words instead of using 20-30 symbols to combine and represent 80,000 things?
Common sense. Not to mention that Mandarin and Cantonese sound repulsive. >tonal language in 2016

yeah, but there aren't any chinese nukige with hot voice actresses

I know this is bait, but only like 4-8k characters are actually used.
Aaron Peterson
Thats still a fuckload? According to IPA human mouth is capable of producing roughly 150 distinct sounds, any alphabet that goes beyond that is retarded
Austin King
Exactly. Idiographic languages are retarded
Elijah Walker
chinese has a ton of homophones tho. characters help differentiate.
Carter Gray
Good

already done.

I've been to China twice and it was pretty fucking bad. Whenever I post about it I vent though because I can't talk about it around my friend's Chinese gf. Recently though she's been talking about how bad it is as well though.

There's an anime club at my college. A lot of chinese. Wouldn't surprise me if they took japanese language classes
