In my first post I mentioned only one language course had ever truly impressed me; well that course was the Michel Thomas Spanish series.

So every so often a new language learning method comes out. Usually they proclaim themselves “revolutionary” and present themselves the magic bullet of language learning.

The answer to the query, “Will Chinese overtake English as the global language?” is simply put. No.
