Best Answer

Both Chinese and Japanese are difficult for English-speakers to comprehend, because each follows a set of rules far removed from the English language. As for which is "easier", it is really a matter of taste.

When wondering which language is likely to be more helpful, consider the following: will you be living in America, Japan, China, or somewhere else?

In America and China, Chinese would be the most appropriate, because these countries have a higher concentration of Chinese people than most others. On the other hand, if you were to move to Japan, Japanese would be infinitely more helpful.

--------------------------------

Definitely the Chinese business language would be a better choice if you looking to show your employers that you've that business sense.

Then again, it also depends on your current company or your future plans. However do note that China is soon to be the next biggest economy after US.

China's increasingly powerful stature and more business opportunities relating to the Chinese language means it has become one of the world's most important business tools. It is critical to the success of business negotiations.Now a growing number of U.S. students are learning Chinese as a new fashion, Echineselearning has opened business classes to teach U.S. students Chinese.
