Why you choose chinese as your second language?

well i tried to learn some mandarin (its a very hard language to learn!) but i gave up because i didnt have anyone to practise on. so now i would like to learn french and maybe spanish!

Chinese is a very attractive language to learn because about 1 billion people speak Mandarin alone, not including the other Sinitic languages, the language is spoken by the Chinese people, who have one of the most rich cultural traditions in the world, and, as mentioned previously, because of China's economic power in the world now.

i guess because china has now opened to the world. chineses are doing business all over the world, and they too have opened their doors. it is a wonderful language.. i understand a few chinese and can speak fookien. problem is i do not know how to read. he he i have some catching up to do with that.

Being the most spoken language today, if Spanish was the international language in the past century, and English in the present century, Chinese maybe in the next century.

I am a Chinese.So Chinese is my mother language.I am glad to hear that.Now more and more people prefer to choose Chinese as a second language is beautiful. Welcome to China.
