Why am I trying to teach myself Mandarin Chinese? 1) Its a frustratingly beautiful language that is both simple and inherently complex at the same time, 2) the translation job market is flooded with people fluent in Spanish, French, and German, and most other Western languages; people who can translate Chinese are not as much a dime a dozen 3) PhD students in English Lit need fluency in a language other than English, and while I am not a PhD student, I might want be one someday 4) I want to get in ESL job in Shanghai, Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzen, or any Municipality in China that is willing to pay me a living wage, and lastly, 5) Lets be very honest here: I love both Cantonese and Mandarin Kung-Fu punch-up movies; it would be awesome to be able to watch them without subtitles or shit-tastic dubbing.
