You Should Learn Chinese

Surprised? You shouldn't be - Chinese is perfect for an ambitious person like you.
You're a natural entrepreneur, and a billion people are waiting to do business with you!
What Language Should You Learn?

I've heard of Danglish (Danes trying to speak English) and of Chinglish (Chinese trying to speak English).
There's also the monstrosity we Danes call Skraldespansk¹, used by flabby Danish tourists invading The Balearic Isles and trying to communicate with hotel personnel using phrases such as "You go clean-io up the pool-io, olé?"

But I shudder even more when I think of me struggling to pronounce beautiful girl names meaning "Full moon shines on lotus flowers as cranes fly over the placid lake" with hardcore Copenhagen-ish accent.

Chanish? Dainese?

*clears throat*

Mei Wenti! Sunny, throw me some Bai Jiu of the really hao kind, so we can go Ganbei! before I move out!
