Date: June 30th, 2014 3:15 AM Author: Nighttime Hairraiser Ceo Locus If you're really going to do this, bro, Mandarin and it's not even close.
The problems with this plan are as follows:
1. Everything important (especially that a white would be allowed to touch) is still done in English 2. These kids have been studying English since they were young 3. There are legit bilinguals who will always be better than you are, and there are plenty of them 4. Even if you become conversant, learning business and legal language is another matter entirely 5. There is quite a bit of tribalism and they'll still likely never trust you 6. There are better uses of your time
Unless you're really dedicated and make the move to immerse yourself, the best that you'll probably do is learn enough to make your Chinese gf's parents giggle and nod (and her and her mom's panties wet). It's a really tough language that is very different from English; any asshole can become a Spanish hack pretty quickly. |

Date: June 30th, 2014 3:28 AM Author: disturbing crackhouse goal in life well mandarin it is. i figure if in a couple years I can be conversant, i can hire a translator (dirt cheap, anyone who speaks mandarin) and hopefully pick up a lot of chink clients. i'll advertise in whatever the ny chink newspaper is (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2605780&forum_id=2#25843221) |

Date: July 1st, 2014 1:42 PM Author: amethyst bisexual feces gunner Undergraduate Mandarin major here, agree it's a waste of time. Everyone in China is learning English from childhood and you will not be able to "pick it up in a few years." It's an outrageously difficult language to learn for native English speakers. There is some DoD chart out there that lays out that, for native English speakers, the same number of hours of study that would get you FLUENT in Spanish will barely get you elementary proficiency in Mandarin. Learn Spanish. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2605780&forum_id=2#25851582) |
