Classes in Chinese Grow as the Language Rides a Wave of Popularity

Americans are seeing the value of learning the Chinese language, and they are studying it in ever increasing numbers. Even though Chinese is one of the hardest languages to learn, people see it as an increasingly attractive language to know, given the economic and military importance of China and the vast numbers of Chinese speakers around the world.

Mayor Daley of Chicago goes as far as saying, “I think there will be two languages in this world. There will be Chinese and English.”
