look, all I'm saying is that if they can implant Mandarin in my brain, I say go for it, it's a really difficult language to learn

I'd settle for a Mao Zedong Thought implant

They'll put on the implant, but instead of speaking mandarin you'll start speaking Maoist Standard English

kkklose enough, it'll terrify all the kkkrakkkas just as much

This was one of the final plots of the show "Dollhouse." People with cybernetic implants could store memories on external drives and swap them out as needed or make copies. So if you wanted to learn Mandarin, you could load up a native speaker's memories and copy them over to your brain, then replace it with something else if you wanted to free up space in your head.

And of course, there's The Matrix.
