>>is laughable Touchwood. Back in early 2000s, a lot of people laughed at the idea of Mandarin being taught in schools. >>Great things will come from bringing another 1 billion humans online and contributing to the world marketplace They don't have to go global. Jack Ma: “eBay May Be a Shark in the Ocean, But I Am a Crocodile in the Yangtze River.” Anyway an extra one billion internet users don't necessarily mean great things ... commercially maybe it gets a lot greyer in other areas like social. |

I don't think that's actually true. In fact, I remember in the early 2000s a lot of people were telling students that they should learn Mandarin because it would be easy for them to find a good paying job if they did. For the most part, this seems to have been very poor advice.
