It won't, but it eliminates an unfair advantage in a business setting. It is amazing the shit people will say when they assume you do not understand.

I have to agree. People like to say English is difficult because there are a million loan words and spelling/grammar have no hard and fast rules, but character based languages are on a different level of difficulty. Even if it shifted to something like pinyin for text, the subtle tone shifting and having tons of a homophones are a huge barrier to entry.

But it makes it seems like your trying if you can speak to your masters in their own language.
