Time to learn Mandarin! {Rosetta Stone}

This is something we all should take kind of serious.  I’ve been hearing a lot about this Mandarin language becoming more popular.

My mom told me this a few years back and I’ve heard it on a few TV shows, now fashion sites are weighing in on it.  Time to pay attention and for good reason…looks like I may be hitting up my nearest Borders for Rosetta Stone.  Fashion Folks it’s time to learn Mandarin!

I read a great article on Fashionista.  I’m going to summarize a few points for you:

• Dec. '12 - Chinese shoppers officially surpassed American shoppers as the #1 consumer of luxury goods.
• Recently in Europe, Burberry doubled the number of Mandarin speaking sales associates  and they have already seen a 15% increase in revenue and in the Asia Pacific region.
• Over the next 3 to 4 years Chinese tourist's numbers are expected to reach 90 million. Retailers are planning to strategiclly use Mandarin speaking associates, catering to these tourist…according to Patrica Pao, CEO of PAO Principle.
