Is Learning Chinese Getting More or Less Valuable?
In the early 2000's, learning Mandarin seemed like one of the most valuable skills you could acquire. With the economy booming and the 2008 Beijing Olympics on the horizon, China was opening up to foreign businesses, students, and travelers, and Mandarin seemed to be the language of the future.

Valuable times a billion. Even though my very elementary Mandarin is limited, the folks i met in the countryside (in 98) lit up when I could talk about my family and ask about theirs. Any effort to meet people with their native language is valuable. Hindi in India, Hungarian in Hungary, German in Germany, Spanish in Latin America All has value for me.
