You have to try it. The effort involved to learn it is no different then embarking on learning any other language, however, the amount it will impress your mates is way more than any other.
There once was a girl from a seaside town, she arrived in Liverpool to undertake a degree in Chinese and International business and in her spare time she would try and practise with real live Chinese people.
Liverpool second to London, has the oldest and probably largest Chinese population in the UK. Compared to Scousers (local indigenous tribe) the Chinese make up about 1.5% of the local population (2010). That was before we created the Tier 4 visa and allowed the burgeoning middle class in China send their one and only’s for a British education.
In 2020 there are probably around 10 to 12,000 Chinese living in Liverpool. Those that originate from HongKong, recruited by the queen to man the merchant fleet, and those recruited by a tory mob or some other foreign officer to attend university. And did we mention student tuition fees would go up for domestic students.
So Hong Kong Chinese and the mainland student population would now make up about 2% of the local population.
Here in Liverpool the beloved sweet and sour, beef friend rice eaten by the majority in Liverpool is from the South of China, namely Hong Kong, once British colony.
That statistic would probably now be out of date or at least the word Chinese redesigned. In the 1800’s the mercantile of Liverpool had to import workers from the far east to man the ships that fleets needed to power the merchant vessels in the birth of global trade.
Then we kicked them all out and said thank you for that £40,000 now graduate, and beat it there are no job opportunities for you to stay.
Anyway you should learn Chinese because now I can understand that mad shit they eat on the menus man, they need to ‘low that.
