But outside of China and some metro/port cities, how much Mandarin will you run into?

There are a couple of reasons.

1. Instant translator jobs in hundreds of markets that have dealings with China in any way.
2. Not having to deal with those terrible translations from Mandarin to English in all those consumable goods we all enjoy. Especially all of our tech.

Case in point:

...The what now? FWIW, This is a portable vacuum sealer manual.


Am I likely to encounter it in Rural America? The odds are very low. Would it allow for more job opportunities? Probably very likely. I'm sure not going to do it for the fun.

I mean, is it a carp? Or maybe a catfish? or an octopus?

If you could magically become fluent in any language, what would it be? For me, it's Spanish.

My kids are both fluent in Magic, since I used to take them to Books A Million when they were little. Early 90s. Younger son had his flight to a foreign country paid by the company so he could be there to play. They are both good at it.
