I've found that Mandarin Chinese is a very important language, and it's the one I'd like to learn after English. I plan to study and learn it during my free time on vacation. Mandarin is spoken in mainland China and Taiwan. I think learning Chinese will help me strengthen my language skills and make it easier to communicate when traveling. I believe Chinese is a very useful language to know.
