ñyan 1,712 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Chinese is too difficult, and spanish is really hard for foreigners (As a native speaker of spanish I can say that) English is not easy but is easier than those two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsene Lupin 3,500 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 just becayse more people speak it doesn't mean its better.

굿바� 3,011 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I can see it happening in the future but it's not gonna happen anytime soon. Too many things rely on english.

I can see it happening at least in African countries , cuz they already speak English as the first language and with how their bonds with china get more deepened I think most African countries would have Chinese as second language .

guava 6,874 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Mandarin is a bitch to learn to read and write. And this is only numbers for native speakers. If you counted the number of people in the world who speak English as a second or third language the number of speakers would greatly increase. So I think over all English is used much more internationally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImInCloud13 10,942 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Although my first language is Spanish I think English is perfect, verbs are not too complicated and things don't have a gender which makes it a loooot easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
