I would have thought this would be a major interest are these days. Perhaps the hype is over-hyped :confused:

Chinese is hard, not many people are inclined to learn it. Those who are, go to specific forums. Also, the whole 'everyone will need to speak Chinese in a few years' just isn't true. That's my guess anyway!

well, not everyone will have to speak Chinese. In fact still very few people do, which is probably one of the best reasons to learn it. I went to an assessment center in Germany for a job with Bosch and it turned out that almost 70% of the people chosen to attend had studied Chinese - and almost 100% of the people who got a job had studied Chinese (not me....).
Thats when I got interested
