maybe you should learn English first, hombre :^)

I don't want to work with the shifty Chinese.
日本語は大丈夫?

thats bullshit. it may be relevant for many jobs but i can tell you for sure theres a lot of places that doesnt really give a shit about language skills.

>>1583992
Of course, and I never said that Chinese is necessary for every job. It's not unless they ask for it. But if you speak it you are instantly 10 times more worth than anyone who doesn't.

>>1583916
The thing is you wont. The number of people using Chinese in their daily job is much lower than the people who get hired because of it.

>>1583903
You must be not familiar with the guy who trades in chinese steel and his take on the topic? He is a biz legend.

>>1583903
Wow, gee golly willickers. Tell me how I can learn Chinese so you can shill your shit on this faggoty board.

Just graduated HS, going for a CS degree. I'm in the US. I know something like 20 characters and the grammar is pretty simple. How valuable is Mandarin, really?

I speak German too btw.

>>1583903
How about ruski?

I see ads for the Confusious Institute at my uni. Are they worth the price?

I don't know much about CS. Do potential employers of you do business in China? If yes, speaking mandarin could be an advantage. Even if you'll never use it, many companies will get a boner from seeing you speak mandarin (and german).

If learning any language is useful, it's learning chinese. It's basically the english of asia.

Also good. If someone wants to learn a language only for working purposes it should be russian or mandarin. Everything else is pretty much useless today.
I've heard russian could be really useful in the steel/engineering industry, but I'm not sure.

What's wrong with japs? I've read the screencaps >>1584045 mentioned and can understand this steel guy but aren't japanese people "normal" (or at least better to work with)?
