Do you think english is taking over?

[HENI]

Yes. So many people in the Netherlands speak English

And Spanish will take over because Mexico is prime to be a superpower.

Maybe, but a superpower doesn't rise when another super power is next door. Germany was the rising power before WW1, Biritan(neighbour) and France(neigbour) practised containment which led to WW1 and Germany's demise. All versions of history we're taught ignore the actual facts and reasons for the war. China is likely to become the dominant power in collaboration with Russia(Gas and oil will provide the energy).

I know other languages have had influence in different times cus they were cool or something back then, but with computers and everything it seems like there is more and more english all the time. Kids they prefer english over trying to find words in their own grammar all the time. I thought that if English was gonna take over then it would happen far in the future but now I don't know, it seems like it happens now.

The future? English took over during the English Empire. That's how languages spread by the most influential and powerful country of the time. It went from England to US so it's been English dominant for about 400 years.

So? I think it's the easiest language in the world

It's not unless you grow up with it but then any language you grow up with is easy. English is objectively one of the hardest languages to learn and understand because of the many idioms and nuances we give to words.

Mandarin is one of the hardest langs in the world. It's not Indo-European so lack of cognates makes it harder to learn vocabulary. The grammar is simple but it's not phonetic, with the more complex writing system and addition of tones it's pretty difficult.

If any language is easy, it's one closest to English in its grammatical structure and that's Mandarin. The only deal breaker is the pronounciaton and character memorization which even I find daunting, but we should think that's what they (the Chinese) also think of English. Or they wouldn't be one of the worst English speakers in the world

Chinese people speak from the nasal region it's not that hard "wememba egg fly lie" and that rule and you should be fine. To speak any language all you need to do is learn the articulation points, once you grasp the facial expressions then you should be fine at pronunciation.

There's a myraid of exsiting techniques to bypass the difficult challenges towards pronounciaton mastery. I think that, amongst them, would enact a feasible bridge to get past the pronounciaton issue

Elite schools around the world now find it mandatory to know at least the basic of Mandarin.

You must be so mad when people error English all the time in this site lol :lol

Yes they do and yes I get mad, however I stopped calling people out as it's probably not their first language. Even in England people used to and still call me grammar police and all sorts:lol

It's the worldwide dialect... It has a straightforward language structure. My local dialect has a considerable measure of standards and variety of verbs. Still I don't believe it's protected to state it's the most straightforward dialect to learn

You must be registered for see links

in light of the fact that that is exceptionally relative, it relies upon your local dialect.

yes
