What would be the most useful language to learn?
I wanna learn french because it sounds cool, but I'm getting my degree in finance so learning mandarin might be more useful even though it sounds like garbage.

Yeah french seems pretty useless we dont see any aussie around here
English.
It's literally the only language worth learning.
Chinese
>>59831363
Portuguese, the most spoken language of southern hemisphere
>>59831965
I do have some portugese heritage so that might be cool but MMA made me hate you guys so much.
Mandarin will earn you money but you should ask yourself if you actually want to interact with Chinese people on a regular basis.

Is there even a single tonal language that doesn't sound like ass?
Pointless trying to learn Mandarin. It's not like French. It will take years of serious study as well time spent in China, and in the end you still won't be able to keep up and will need a translator for any business stuff. Only learn Mandarin if you want to live in China on a permanent basis.
French on the other hand can be learned fairly easily in one's spare time.

How long is a piece of string?
Mandarin? Rerally difficult to perfect, I would go with Spanish, The latin american market is opening a lot of new possibilities that you might want to check out!

Finnish. We'll conquer the world at some point anyway, so why not prepare. Also memes.

>>59831363

>>59831965
Do not learn portuguese. Never
>>59835140
Why not? You are a big country with high potencial and influence in the nearest future I guess.
>>59831363

Also. what does /int/ think about Hindi?

Many Indians already speak English to some degree, why bother?
>>59834544
Why does everyone say that. There are many opportunities in Chyna.
>>59836130
What kind of opportunities?
>>59837279
A growimg economy, loads of companies wanting to access the Western market, untapped resources etc. "Mandarin is a meme" is a meme in itself. A metameme if you will.
>>59838192
I'm aware of China's increasing prosperity and I believe that they will become the dominant civilisation on Earth, so you don't need to convince me of that. Rather I was wondering about *specific* opportunities for Westerners in China as, lacking in life and business experience as I am, I don't have much of a conception of these opportunities beyond teaching English and acting as a 'trustworthy intermediary for business deals'.
>>59838381
But the "trustworthy intermediary for business deals" is an absolute gold mine like you wouldn't believe.
Spanish is easy and the third most spoken language
>>59838634
You're right, but not everyone is cut out to be a businessman. I guess I should start working on my interpersonal skills.
