@craigzLiszt The utility of being able to say the same thing in a different way is more limited than I thought it would be. it's a good mental exercise, but a lot of things are. (I've learned 5 languages, Mandarin was funnest and hardest)
English

@craigzLiszt speaking chinese can be your superpower 🦸 hindi is useless. learn urdu if you must!
English

@craigzLiszt @ChineseEmbinUS can you guys cancel him for saying Chinese instead of Mandarin?
English

@craigzLiszt Per Wikipedia, Hindi is spoken as a first language by less than 44% of the Indian population.
Learning Chinese is likely to be better for business.
In India, you would be better of learning Sanskrit and Tamil, which play the same role as Latin for European languages.
English

@craigzLiszt As a Hindi speaker, I can say that Chinese is more likely to be useful. English is widely spoken in business circles in India, which is not as true in China. And Hindi is spoken by a minority of Indians!
That being said, Hindi is a lot easier to learn.
English

@craigzLiszt I speak Hindi. While Hindi is the most widely spoken language in India, it's only the native language for less than half the country. On the global stage, it has near-zero utility other than to make cultural in-roads: music, movies, tv shows, etc.
Learn Chinese.

@craigzLiszt Every distributor we have ever worked with across Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, and UP - we spoke Hindi with them.
I have never once needed Chinese to close a purchase order.
Learn the language of your customers. This is not complicated.
English

@craigzLiszt Mandarin. More “useful” since many people who speak Hindi (that you would interact with in business) also speak English
English

@craigzLiszt Chinese is the language of AI, less tokens are required for the same task
English

@craigzLiszt What do you do for a living friend?
Because I read your tweets and all I can see is that you are learning languages and you started learning both of this languages mate
English

@craigzLiszt None… unless you have a reason 😅
English

@craigzLiszt Sanskrit. Much to discover.
Fun fact - Hindi and Sanskrit use same characters.
Like if you can read English, you can read german too.
English

@craigzLiszt It all depends what you want to do with it ... if there is a business plan ... which link then learn that language
English

@craigzLiszt Whichever country you think will own the next decade!
English

@craigzLiszt Chinese, of course. But I’m biased… since I’m Chinese. 😂
English

@craigzLiszt Hindi - for its unique beauty and poetry. You will experience and articulate emotions that you are probably unaware of. You will wish that Shakespeare wrote in Hindi.
Bonus: Hindi is a large vector space spanned by a small basis set.

@craigzLiszt Just learn everything Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Malyalam, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Odia etc etc..........
Indonesia

@craigzLiszt Learn Chinese, you can go to any place in India, every Indian knows basic English while Chinese people don't even know the alphabet. If you are learning for some other reasons then that's a different story
English

@craigzLiszt IMO Russian. Its grammar is a lot similar to English. Chinese and Hindi have a vast difference in grammar when compared to English. Mandarin being the most difficult to learn. I wouldn’t recommend that. Hindi could be a more easy start for a new language.
English

@craigzLiszt What about we learn the embedding so that we can speak to both AI and human.
English

@craigzLiszt Learn Chinese. Most sub continent ppl are multi linguistic and who is in tech/business Most likely speaks English.
