    which Asian language would you learn and why?

    I've been wanting to learn one for a while and now going to take the leap.....Vietnamese is winning so far...because Vietnamese girls are hot.

    Hindi. So I can eavesdrop on the in-laws. And that everyone will be Chinese-Indian by 2100.

    Does it matter? They all look sound the same anyway.
    Is such a thing even possible?

    Mandarin first - it's by far the most widely spoken.

    Then probably Thai - because I like Thailand.

    Then maybe Indo - because it's close and cheap.

    Japanese, because it seems like a cool place. Lots of big business and top drawer cars and bikes.
    Then Thai - so you knew exactly what they were saying about you behind your back when your smashin em down on prices and what all the ladies were shouting out at you from the little go-go bars!

    That one's pretty farkin' hard actually, I was lucky enough to grow up speaking it so when I speak it I can actually pronounce the words properly which throws them off when I'm there. For example there's five or more different words you can say using the letters "mai" and it's all in the way you say the word.

    The sentence below, when said correctly, means "New wood doesn't burn does it?"

    "Mai mai mai mai mai?"

    Chinese - given their investments in our economy.
    Some say he eats sidchrome for breakfast

    Some say he only showers on even days of the week

    Some say he put an R1 motor in a coffee machine

    All we know is he's Hewie.

    Chinese and all the Indian languages... that covers about 1/3 of the entire planets population.
    The universe likes speed. Don't delay. Don't second guess. Don't doubt. When the opportunity is there, when the impulse is there, when the intuitive nudge from within is there, act.

    Mandarin Chinese. I can tell you first hand that it is incredibly difficult as it's tonal. Beautiful though
