Mandarin literally means “speech of officials.” Mandarin Chinese is one of the any varieties of the Chinese language. It is mostly and predominantly spoken in Northern and Southwestern China. To date, almost a billion are considered as native speakers of the language. This would equate to almost one fifth of the global population.
Aside from China, speakers of Mandarin Chinese are largely scattered all over the globe. Just like how they manage their economy, Chinese people venture foreign lands to start a business and to engage in trade and commerce. Hence, their number in all parts of the globe is humongous.
Given all these facts, there are way too many reasons why one should study Mandarin Chinese. The first one is that international businesses prefer to hire people who are multilingual. China is an entirely huge market so international enterprises would prefer those who can communicate and deal with its Chinese counterparts, leaders, and clients.

Slovak is the sole and official language spoken by about 5 million people in Slovakia. There are also small and large communities of speakers found in the United States, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Ireland, Romania, Poland, Canada, Hungary, Croatia, UK, Australia, Austria, and Ukraine.

In terms of economy and business, those who knows how to speak the language can very well gain fast and immediate acceptance in companies and work environments speaking the same. Also, since very few knows how to speak it, the competition for the job would be less steeper compared to other jobs.
On the personal side, those who loves to travel and explore the world would find learning the language handy should he/she get lost to marvel the cities where Slovak is spoken.
