Answer 1

MANDARIN learning soars OUTSIDE China.

Parents in finance see Chinese as an advantage for their children. In just five years, the number of non-Chinese people learning Mandarin Chinese has soared to 30 million. What is fuelling this expansion, and will it change the status of English as a global language?

Shanghai-born lawyer Kailan Shu Lucas of Chinese Learning Centre organises lessons in Mandarin, the main Chinese language, for pupils in London - and she is very busy.

She now co-ordinates lessons for 12 London schools. She believes that in most cases, having their children study the language is a career calculation made by the parents.

"Parents nowadays think that in 10-20 years' time, when their children are in adulthood, China will be even bigger - and so learning Chinese will be a very helpful tool," she told BBC World Service's Analysis programme.

"This will be a very useful, important language to learn."

In London, the parents of most of the NON-Chinese students studying Mandarin Chinese are from the finance industry.

Kailan said that in this industry, China is "a big thing."

Professor David Crystal: "They want their children to learn Chinese and be more versatile in terms of job prospects in the future."

The belief is that China is not just a new rival, but a new provider, not just a UK phenomenon - in the US too, numbers of teenagers taking Chinese have rocketed.

In 1998, just 6,000 student enrolled in Mandarin programmes. That figure is now 50,000.

"Students want to sign up for it; parents are asking for it; communities are asking for it," said Brett Lovejoy, of the American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages.

"It's self-evident that children will be much better off economically and in job seeking if Chinese programmes are adopted."

In the UK, the number of students at colleges and universities taking Chinese as their main subject doubled between 2002 and 2005. Similar increases are reported in most Western nations.

This has not happened without encouragement from Beijing, where the government is actively promoting the speaking of Mandarin abroad.

Hundreds of teachers have been sent to Africa, and since 2004, China has set up "Confucius Institutes" around the world, actively promoting Mandarin Chinese.

So far, they have signed contracts with 40 universities in 25 countries to establish these joint projects.

Global language

And professor David Crystal, a leading authority on how languages work and how they change, explained that the explosion in the numbers learning Chinese is also down to demographic influences at home.

"In modern times, as cultures have changed - especially in Britain, the United States and Australia - as the countries have become increasingly multi-cultural and multi-ethnic, then the languages that come with those groups of immigrants become an increasingly important part of the culture," he said.


Analysts say China's culture is better understood through Mandarin
"London is one of the multi-lingual centres of the world... the monolingual tradition of English in the past is changing very much, and I think Chinese is one of the important factors.

"People who used to be able to make their way in the world as monolingual English speakers are now finding that they've got to compete with people who are genuinely multilingual."

Answer 2

WHY YOU RACIST INDI-- Whoops,sorry. Just can't handle racist indians. CHINA ALL THE WAY!! Oh, and @you Isn't it a bit too early for that? You're just bragging. China has a GDP of over 15$ while India has less than that. Maybe it's a bit too late. @Bharat Sorry, but the Chinese people are WAY nicer. I visited India last year and it was HORRIBLE. At least the Tajmahal was great.. Go ahead and give this question a thumbs down, Indians. I don't care. I discussed my opinion, and I'm happy with it. I know you are always offended at such little things like opinions. @Gamer: Well, at least SOME Indians know what I'm talking about. :)

Before seeking an answer please specify what you see as the "Finish Line". Personally, I don't see any finish line and therefore no race at all; just a healthy competition.
