Learn to speak Chinese today
I just don't understand why people regard Mandarin as such an important language. Sure, it's the most spoken language in the world, but outside of China, where else would you use it? If you got stuck anywhere in the world, chances are Mandarin won't help...

its not an important language…
ppl only say it is to start classes to make $$
its only widely spoken cuz there are alot of chinese ppl…
doesnt mean its important
english is still and always will be the most useful language
I’ve taken Chinese for two and a half years and I’m still wondering why it’s supposedly such an important language. Most Chinese people would rather speak to you in English anyway, and find it charming and quaint that you speak a little of their language. So, I’d still say that it is a good and neighborly deed to learn a little Mandarin, but there’s very little reason to learn it fluently unless you’re married to a Chinese person or have a passion for Chinese culture.
It is an important language in the sense of the sheer number of speakers (The Chinese have a huge population).
But in the business sense the people of Yahoo! seem to exaggerate the importance of it.
We would conduct business with them in English, because outside of China it is not spoken as much as other languages.
The culture and the sheer number of speakers make it important.
It would look great on an application too, but honestly in the business world you will not be using it to the extent that some will say on here. Don’t get me wrong it is an important language, but the way the language is set up it would be a huge inconveniance and highly unlikely that it would ever become a global language.
Mandarin is a silly word to call Chinese language…
well, Italian is also useless anywhere outside Italy, same happens with German and Swedish… nevertheless people are learning them… history, culture, business, there are factors that attract people to China… cooperation with Chinese partners from abroad is also easier with the language knowledge…
actually nobody forces you to learn it… you decide what is important for you…
