In Response to Re: Can you speak in other languages at the table? : It can't be. There are over 1 billion chineese who already speak it. If it was that hard to learn then surely most of them wouldn't be able to speak it Posted by cenachav
it's complicated the written language - Chinese - is only for reading and writing. and a lot of native Chinese cannot do that as many a taxi driver over there has proved.
the spoken languages meanwhile are very diverse. From Mandarin to Cantonese, Uyghur to a whole load of ethnic alternatives. Although Mandarin is the official language many Chinese cannot speak it.
