This is Microsoft's English to Chinese speech to speech translation technology in 2012. Start at 7:30 min and listen for yourself. You will be amazed. In 10-20 years, technologies like this may make it more difficult to justify most "casual" Chinese (or most second language) learning. Unless the goal is to achieve near native level fluency, most language learners probably have better return on investment with their time learning other things.
