Lead-in
When it comes to Chinese, I started learning it at high school, and I enjoyed it so much that I continued studying it at the university of Leeds. We learnt to speak, as well as to read and write Chinese.

I sigh up for an evening course to learn a little bit of Chinese at the local community center near where I live in Melbourne. I am pleasantly surprised that speaking is easier than I have expected.
Jenny
I learn Chinese through an online course, and I think the hardest is the pronunciation. But to help me during the trip to China next year, I stil best.

A language for life
It has been found that around the world, the number of people learning Chinese at schools, universities, community centres or online is growing. The language has been included in the education systems of more than 75 countries. Over 4,000 overseas universities offer Chinese language courses and it's estimated that about 25 million people are learning Chinese outside China. Never has the demand been greater.
As a Chinese, it's interesting that foreigners find our native language fascinating.However, I can understand their fascination, because Chinese is a charming language filled with a long history, beautifully written characters, rich culture and considerable depth in its meaning. Any foreigner who masters the Chinese language would feel that it is a worthy accomplishment.
One possible version
There are several other reasons why foreigners are choosing to learn Chinese. Tourists may choose to take courses in Chinese before their trip. By learning useful travel expressions, they can navigate their way around the city and carry out basic tasks such as ordering food or negotiating prices. Other foreigners might choose to study Chinese at a Chinese university so that they can apply for jobs that may require a good knowledge of the Chinese language. For example, the China Belt and Road Initiative has created thousands of local jobs in many countries along the Silk Road.Working together with Chinese engineers may require people who can speak Chinese.So possible job applicants would be motivated to learn Chinese as an additional language.
There is no doubt that learning Chinese will continue to be popular in the future.Knowing Chinese can lead to many opportunities for both Chinese people and foreigners. Moreover, learning Chinese can broaden people's minds and enrich their lives in many different ways.
