Should I take School Business Spanish or Chinese?

Should I take School Business Spanish or Chinese?
By Donna J. Jodhan

 

So which language do you think would be more beneficial to learn?  Business Spanish or Chinese?  An interesting question and there are many arguments for and against.  I don't think that there is any right opinion or answer.  Rather, it all depends on your personal circumstances, aspirations, and needs.
 
If you live in America and have a need to interact with the second largest group, the Hispanic group which is the fastest growing group in America today, then you may want to lean more towards learning business Spanish.  However, if you are looking towards those lucrative markets of millions of consumers in Asia, then you may want to air on the side of learning Chinese. 

 

As it stands today, Chinese and Spanish are the second and third most spoken languages on the Internet respectively.  I could say then that you may want to learn both languages in order to kill two birds with one stone so to speak but keep in mind that both languages are like night and day; their grammatical make up are very different in style and nature.  So, back to my solution; learn the language that best fits your needs and aspirations.  I have a great reference for you to read.  Please see below.
