Forget Spanish because of the immigrants, how about China which we're going to be trading and working with a whole lot more in the future? Yeah that could work English and Chinese I like it -- Posted by newman at 11:16 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from JackieisBlue at 11:15 am on July 11, 2008 as opposed to mexico, who we are already working with? Yeah.  China's gonna be a shit load more influencial, and already is. -- Posted by major at 11:17 am on July 11, 2008 chinese is so different from english, the way they put their ideas together and just their way of speaking and the importance of tonality spanish is clumsy and brute and is best suited for the masses, and there are a huge amount of spanish speakers so we'd be good with either option, but more successful with spanish. -- Posted by BrownSugaBaby at 11:18 am on July 11, 2008 Ni hao. Wo shi brownsugababy. (dont know if i spelled correct) I actually took chinese in primary and elementary school, tho.

But we wouldn't be.  The actual LANGUAGE doesn't matter, it's who you use it with.  China is more of a world power that Mexico. -- Posted by JackieisBlue at 11:25 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from newman at 11:16 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from JackieisBlue at 11:15 am on July 11, 2008 as opposed to mexico, who we are already working with?

Lets see they are the oldest civilization on planet Earth, they have the largest population ever, and their technology has swept the United States -- Posted by JennyColada at 11:27 am on July 11, 2008 Me, personally learning Chinese probably is never going to actually help me in my life. Learning Spanish or Armenian probably would though. Just because a country could be a superpower doesn't necessarily mean that everyone would be better off learning the language. Anyway, pretty much every other country is well on their way to learning English, and many tourists and businessmen are fluent in it. Now, now, I'm not one to say "well they already know our language, let's be lazy!" all I mean is that it is less imperative in ways of communication. -- Posted by newman at 11:29 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from bassguitarplayer2010 at 11:27 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from JackieisBlue at 11:25 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from newman at 11:16 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from JackieisBlue at 11:15 am on July 11, 2008 as opposed to mexico, who we are already working with?     Yeah.  China's gonna be a shit load more influencial, and already is.        how?

Yeah, but what if China is as powerful as America?  Everybody's gonna speak Chinese then.  They wouldn't bother learning English. -- Posted by JennyColada at 11:32 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from newman at 11:30 am on July 11, 2008 Yeah, but what if China is as powerful as America? Everybody's gonna speak Chinese then. They wouldn't bother learning English. You're using information that you cannot possibly know (the future) to base your opinion on. *Shrugs* I just don't believe that in my lifetime people are going to decide that they want to stop learning English. I mean, yea, it's possible, but when it happens then I'm sure it'll be easier to learn the language anyway, since we'd be more submersed in it in business. -- Posted by newman at 11:32 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from JackieisBlue at 11:30 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from bassguitarplayer2010 at 11:27 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from JackieisBlue at 11:25 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from newman at 11:16 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from JackieisBlue at 11:15 am on July 11, 2008 as opposed to mexico, who we are already working with?        Yeah.  China's gonna be a shit load more influencial, and already is.           how?

I never said that mexico was more influential. But if influence is the case, then this is a pointless argument. Latin influenced almost every language, but should we be speaking latin?

What influenced most of the germanic languages started in Greece and around that area, so are you saying that before Columbous discovered El Salvador no one knew how to speak a language? -- Posted by newman at 11:39 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from JackieisBlue at 11:36 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from newman at 11:32 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from JackieisBlue at 11:30 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from bassguitarplayer2010 at 11:27 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from JackieisBlue at 11:25 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from newman at 11:16 am on July 11, 2008 Quote: from JackieisBlue at 11:15 am on July 11, 2008 as opposed to mexico, who we are already working with?            Yeah.  China's gonna be a shit load more influencial, and already is.                   how?
