Which language for a monolingual English speaker: Chinese, Japanese, or Korean?

<p>All three sound very interesting to me so it’s not like I have any real linguistic bias. I only slightly lean with Korean because my best friend from college is Korean and I have learned so much about Korea and it seems like a place relatively untouched by Westerners in comparison to Japan and China.</p>

<p>Mandarin sounds absolutely daunting, I must admit, but I know it is very marketable. Decisions, decisions…</p>
