The Chinese is Coming

The Chinese is coming! I do not mean the Chinese people are coming, but the Chinese language is coming! If so, are you ready for the Chinese language learning?

Why are the Chinese studies becoming so popular? There are some reasons. First, Chinese has long history full of legends. Second, Chinese is spoken by the largest population in the world. Third, China has raised its international influence, furthermore the rapid economic development dramatically. Fourth, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games has provided a good chance to show the Chinese culture to the world, and thus attracted more foreigners to study Chinese.

As a Chinese tutor, I'm very pride myself on the popularity of Chinese language. The fact that more and more foreigners study Chinese reflects China’s economic development in a sense. Take America as an example, from kindergartens to a high school, there is a rapid rise of interest among American pupils to study Chinese language. On the other hand, over two hundred Confucius institutes have been set up in 69 countries; from TV we can see many foreigners take Chinese learn online. The number of foreign students who are attracted by the mysterious and charming language and come to china learning Chinese also increases steadily every year.

While Chinese learn online is a fever among foreigners, many Chinese learners tend to ignore the importance of their mother tongue, grammatical mistakes constantly occur in their essays, not to mention coarse wording and improper style. That’s why we should attach equal importance to our mother tongue when we study Chinese.
