    God, Chinese is so much more useful. Italian is virtually useless, in fact. 59 million people live there, 1.4 billion live in China alone, not to mention the the emigrants.

    I love my Italian homies, but yeah.

      Eh, I actually want to visit Italy one day. I’ve never had the desire to go to China, and a lot of stories I’ve heard from people who did visit for tourism or business were not making me want to go.

      Doesn’t China have more than one spoken language, though? If I get all of them, Chinese. Otherwise Italian because then I’d have Spanish as well, I know toddler Spanish already and the grammar is the same.

        From what I was taught, most people in china primarily speak mandarin or can speak mandarin as well as another dialect. Mandarin is the one you want.

        I was being intentionally broad but yeah. Mandarin, Cantonese, Taiwanese, whatever the Weigers speak, and a bunch of regional dialects/languages. That’s my understanding at least, without googling it.
