[quote=LEMONCACTUS,247725]Personally I'm learning Chinese because I live and work in China currently and want to learn more about the language and culture. If I lived in any other country, I would think it only right to learn the language and make some attempt to interact with local people. English is, I guess, the world's "lingua franca" and I doubt this is going to change - and if it did, I would doubt that Chinese would take it's place - despite the great number of Chinese speakers. The complexity of the written language is a big obstacle. Why is Chinese popular now ? I agree with May. China is one of the fastest developing countries in the world, opportunities here are enormous, in every field and sector.... interestingly, the craze for learning English in China is increasing, for exactly the same reason.[/quote]
