Re: Learn Chinese

Hi

Best to learn Arabic first, they own more of the UK than the Chinese, at least for the time being.

Best of all is the Indian Tata group, the company laying off the steel workers here in the UK.

Not only do they own a large % of our steel production, they also own such well known "British" Companies as Jaguar Land Rover and Tetley's.

Learning Hindi might also be a good idea as well.

Re: Learn Chinese

We have many many Chinese around here, virtually every other shop is Chinese, so many Chinese restaurants you could think you were in China, but they all seem very pleasant, they are very polite and almost all speak English and pretty good Spanish. There is one young lady in particular we always have a laugh with because we could never remember if her name was Lee Ping or Pee Ling. Whenever we see her she always tells us "today my name is Pee Ling because I have been preparing vegetables, or she might say today my name is Lee Ping because I have been jumping around after the children all day. At least the Chinese have a sense of humour and they appear to integrate well with everyone.
