I remember this trend and all the predictions like 7-8 years ago. Nah, English is fine, maybe sprinkle in some German. After this whole corona fiasco too I wouldn't be surprised if people actively abstain from chinese-made products. China also just pumps up millions and millions of cheap garbage products for pennies and consumerism is moving more to quality over quantity (especially with higher disposable incomes + access to cheap debt).
Evan Hill
why would you say sprinkle in some German.
In the United Nations There are six official languages. They are Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish.
So I assume you most at least speak one of these languages.
Wyatt King
Forget Chink speak.
Go with Russian.
Truth is Chinese are the most scummiest of all races to make business with, you dont really want to trade directly with them unless you want to have a life of suffering.
I remember a post about some guy that learned Mandarin in order to make business with mainland China manufacturers. It was a living hell of chinks constantly scamming or trying to scam him.
China is a hellhole, its a dog eat dog there. Except they dont even pretend and the government doesnt give a single fuck.
Why Russian you ask? well because its also cheap as well to get stuff made there but the Russians at least can make stuff that work.
>inb4 some user claims all my electronics are made in China
Fuck off, its very different thing being Apple or Samsung having an army of lawyers directly working with the Chink governemnt than OP and his small business asking some rando factory in Guangdong to make 10,000 pony dildos to sell.

Lol fuck off ivan no one needs your primitive trinkets and no one needs to learn a language of dying-out white niggers as well

>tfw fluent in English, Russian, French, Spanish
Are there any other foreign languages that I should learn?
Jose Wright
Don't even try learning non-indoeuropean languages, they are not worthwhile due to asian and middle east countries being either a scummy isolated uncultured piece of crap of a territory and an economy on it or just a big oil refinery that doesn't need anyone else in itself apart from top-tier oil engineers
Gavin Stewart
The return on investment of time required to reach a useful level of the language is terrible. Do it for personal reasons (it is a fun and interesting language to learn especially if you spend a lot of time in China) but if you're looking for ROI, do something else with your time.
Ian Long
Honestly there's no reason to learn another language. As they say language is not a skill. You can know all the world's langs but who's going to pay you for it? Like wow you can speak to people without pulling your smartphone out of your pocket, kudos to you

If you live in north america then you should learn spanish.
Chinese will cease to be a language on planet earth after the first neutron bomb war in 2035.
