Have you guys seen the relative success of computers translating different languages? It's pretty coolpic.twitter.com/FsIN1RGxI0
These graphs tell me that Chinese is an interesting language to learn ;) But yea, google translate is a really nice tool to have
By interesting, do you mean good? In the sense that it doesn't look like it'll be spoken by machines anytime soon. I know you for your math proofs. Chinese is...kind of the opposite of that.
I don't know the first thing about Chinese, but I think learning a vastly different language puts your own in context, similar to a C++ programmer learning Haskell
I speak conversational Chinese and have spent a lot of time there. My culture was put in context. I'm not sure my language was.
