Type in "Should I learn Chinese?" in Google. Here's what comes up:

Should I learn Chinese?
"CHINESE IS THE MOST SPOKEN LANGUAGE IN THE WORLD"

"Yes, this is the first and the most important reason why you should study Mandarin. ... More than 1.2 billion people speak Chinese. Not only is Chinese spoken in China, but it's also spoken in Singapore and Taiwan. Jan 5, 2018"

------------

What is the second reason? They didn't say...

Chinese is NOT the most spoken language in the world. You Googled wrong.

Google most spoken language in the world

English is the largest language in the world, if you count both native and non-native speakers. If you count only native speakers, Mandarin Chinese is the largest. Mandarin Chinese is the largest language in the world when counting only first language (native) speakers.

It’s also completely incorrect. English is, by far, the most spoken language on Earth and it isn’t close.

Mandarin is the most widely spoken first language on Earth and even that is debatable.

Google is asshoe.

The Chinese need to learn English and the Latin alphabet and get rid of their primitive chicken scratch hieroglyphics.

[Reeses]

More than 1.2 billion people speak Chinese.

One billion of them are dirt poor. Learn Mandarin if you need to speak with a billion communist poor people.

Westerners mainly get to know the children of China's upper class, and from that get a distorted impression of what is average in China. The truth is shocking. The average English speaker wouldn't want much to do with the billion brainwashed CCP soulless drones.

And then we have this...

“Over two billion people speak English (as of the 2000s), making English the largest language by number of speakers, and the third largest language by number of native speakers.”

If you want to peeve off a ChiComm ape, tell him that the Chinese language is only good for ordering chop suey. Then tell the ChiComm ape that the Chinese are so stupid that they don’t know how to make chop suey. Then when the ChiComm ape fires back that the Chinese don’t make chop suey, tell him I told you that the Chinese were stupid.
