my girlfriend's parents don't speak mandarin at all for instance

@turnerturing traditional and simplified difference isnt too big

you can easily learn both

yes but if the goal is to learn business-chinese, I'd rather go to Shenzhen

Isn't that place super expensive?

really depends on how you live

I don't think it would cost more than Taiwan

@kaetaa

By business chinese you mean manderin and simplified chinese or is there some branch from chinese now.

what are you learning it for?

I think Turner would like to get your expertise on learning chinese

Also Inb4 steel pasta

Business, I guess. Mainly to communicate with people across US chinatowns to sell them gook shit

actually steel pasta is in order

Chinatowns in US are still mostly Cantonese, I think

should be in pinned imo

in which case, traditional would be more useful

from my experience, ppl from mainland dont really struggle with trad either

at least ones who manage to get out of the country

dont learn chinese wtf r u thinking

you cant go wrong with either simp. or trad. but I'd learn trad, just for the sake of it

It seems most are here on questionable visa status, I'll do more research on the makeup of the demographics

educated native chinese speakers should be able to do both

older ppl might not necessarily be able to speak mandarin neither

but written language should be okay

One of the workers talked about nightmarkets and it never getting colder than fall temps in his hometown so I think thats southern China.

aside from my slight bias in that i think simplified is ugly as sin, traditional would be the safer route in this case

I won't get tired of it anyway

this never gets old

I read that but I'm dealing with koreans for the actual product so its fine most times. Just the customer base is chinese

I dont even know how much longer we can make margins, I'm suprised amazon didnt wipe us off the face of the earth like 5 years ago

selling beauty products?

selling twink products to prettyboys?
