Super interesting. I'd love to learn Chinese and be able to do this one day: http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/10/22/mark-zuckerber...

Though, I'm not sure reading novels like the website suggests is the right approach when starting from nothing.

Given that "Zuckerberg Speaks Mandarin Like a Seven-Year-Old"[0], that's not aiming very high.

It would be more accurate to say he speaks like a seven year old foreigner. His tones are all wrong. I think the Chinese audience is enthralled that he is attempting to speak to them in Mandarin and are humoring him- I doubt they understand what he is saying too well. That said, good for him for learning Chinese.

That reminds me, maybe the creator can do a version of Xi JinPing's book for all Facebook employees.
