Cracked under the pressure of doing my speech in English. Was one of the worst moments ever.

I know how you feel. I've done that before.

me too speeches are a low point in life. more so when in german.

German's easy compared to Indonesian!

so you know indonesian Felipe? Wow!

and Rachel knows German too.

What is that (Mandarin)? i thought it was some instrument

[swca92]

Mandarin is the language of China. A mandolin is a musical instrument, looks like a very small guitar, its the main instrument for the R.E.M track Losing my Religion.

Oh! that clears it . the only word i have heard is Mandolin (and since this was similar sounding), i got confused

Even if it happened, it couldn't happen by the end of the decade, considering how difficult a language Mandarin is and the fact that India is surpassing them population-wise. Also, Mandarin may be spoken by the most people, but English is spoken in the most places and the written system is far easier to learn. I think the only language that has a chance at beating out English as the international trade language is Spanish, which is very easy for anyone that knows a Romance language and for English speakers and is also spoken in a large number of countries.
