Hi, I'm an American studying law with an emphasis in international business
law in china. I'm going to be learning chinese so that hopefully by the
time I graduate I can at lease tell employers (here in California) that
I'm
reasonably proficient in the language.
My questions is: should I learn Mandarin or Cantonese? I need a language
with the widest potential application. I hear that Cantonese is the
trendy
language to learn and of course it's used in Hong Kong but should I stick
with Mandarin which I'm leaning toward?
Thanks very much for any input you might have!
