Womi Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Then please explain why English is so bloody easy to learn. I mean' date=' I started studying it 2 years ago and...TADA![/quote'] Because english is our world's language. A lot more people know Mandarin, and it's hard as hell. Yeah, but that's not the same. THis region of Asia has the highest population on earth, so automatically, they learn this language. But show me one advertising slogan in Mandarin. They are English to the biggest part. No matter where you are, you'll always be confronted with the English language. Deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
