In 2011, China overtook Japan to become the world\u2019s second biggest economy, and many confidently predict that they\u2019ll wrest the top spot from the USA by 2050.<\/i><i>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>Some knowledge of the Chinese language is the ice breaker that gets you talking about culture \u2013              and business \u2013 in China.&nbsp; And <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishcouncil.org\/trustresearch2012.pdf\"><i>our research<\/i><\/a><i> shows a bit of language and culture goes a long way when you\u2019re looking to trade.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I find encouraging and fascinating is that while the whole world is increasingly learning how to speak English \u2013 and the Chinese are leading that charge, it is still crucial for Americans (and the British) to put some blood, sweat, and tears into learning new languages to show the sincerity of our commitment to understanding other cultures and working with other countries on <b><i>their terms<\/i><\/b> as well as on ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The familiar Nelson Mandela quote says it better than I can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><i>&nbsp;If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/i><i style=\"line-height: 1.714285714; font-size: 1rem;\">If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart. \u2013Nelson Mandela<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s face it; things might be looking up in the U.S. if a group of high school seniors going out on the town on a Friday night knew that what languages they spoke when they got out of college would have a huge impact on their career choices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s face it; things might be looking up in the U.S. if a group of high school seniors going out on the town on a Friday night&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":785,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,3],"tags":[6570,2417,2416,2408,1946],"class_list":["post-59","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","category-language-learning","tag-chinese","tag-french","tag-german","tag-language-research","tag-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v26.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\u201cNo way!
