My son and I can speak some Mandarin but have not focussed on this in nearly a year. Our spoken Mandarin may not answer the Internet take over as it would be text based. This seems like we are focussed in an area that will not be of use but with the google translate service popping up anytime I am on a different page and MAndarin officially only having a certain number of words, I believe 1680, is this an issue? I believe noe – the spoken will be more uise to us as the written can always be translated at least to a basic understanding
