John over at the always enjoyable Sinosplice blog (a must for students of Chinese) just wrote a post about an interesting visual representation of the world’s language speakers.  It was produced by IBM’s “Many Eyes” project.

You readers are, of course, intelligent attractive people so you no doubt already knew that learning Mandarin was the way to go.  You’re never to old to start!  Right now I’m revamping my Mandarin studies, as I stay in China longer it’s really becoming necessary knowledge.  Plus, with my awesome new internship in Shanghai starting August 1st (in an all Chinese speaking office) I plain need to keep my Mandarin up. I’m trying to follow that classic Maoism pasted on classroom walls all over China: 好好学习 天天向上.   Study hard and make progress everyday.
