I don't think Chinese will replace English as the most spoken language all over the world. There are some reasons: 1.The popularisation of English is certainly one of the most important part of the globalisation. Its status will be solid in at least 20 years; 2.English is in general easier to learn, compared with Chinese. I mean IN GENERAL!(cause some have opposite ideas to it)In a way, it means that it's more efficient to become in proficiency in English; 3.English shares a similar alphabet with a lot of languages, while Chinese uses an unique writing system. Although Englis has been through the Vowel Shift, people can work with reading and pronunciating together while Chinese learners have to deal with characters and their pronunciations separately. They are also other reasons supporting it. Nevertheless, it's indisputable that Chinese becomes a trend for those who are ready to learn a foreign language.

I occasionally found Linguaholic when searching "language forum" by bing, and as I've read quite a few topics I found that it's just I was longing for for ages. Wish I have a great time here :wacky: and make progress by sharing great ideas of learning languages with U!!! 偶然在bing输入“语言论坛”时发现了Linguaholic（语言狂），并且当我浏览了一些帖子之后，我发现这就是我一直想要的。希望自己能在这里玩的开心 :wacky:并和大家分享语言学习经验中不断进步！！！
