Chinese. everything goes through china these days.
I’m in the same boat as you. I have the choice to take French, Spanish, German, or Mandarin Chinese. It’s really hard to choose, isn’t it?
No one thinks that russian might be important with the conflict going on now?
I vote for Chinese.
Well Chinese is the most spoken language in the world followed by Spaininsh and English so if you get those under your belt you are pretty much sorted

Why? We don’t have to communicate with them just shoot them during war.

It depends. If you are more of a risktaker and are going into busieness or foreign policy, I would say Russian. Otherwise, I think Chinese would be a good choice for someone going into education or business and who finds Chinese culture and food appealing.
I think it depends. I live in Canada, so Russian and Chinese wouldn’t come in handy very often.
Isn’t there a large Chinese population in Vancouver?
I cant decide betweem chinese or russian, although, i do feel , in the business world chinese has gone a long way for people who speak it. To be honest, ive also heard its really hard! I need to decide too!!
it depends.the point is what culture you like better. in my opinion ,chinese is more interesting.
Most ¨china towns¨, like the one in vancouver speak mostly cantonese, that is of course slowly changing. I think when most people say they want to learn chinese they are refering to the mandarin dialect.
definitely russian. much easier, much more widely spoken geographically, much more useful as all educated chinese use english
