According to a research in 2008, about 40 million people were studying Chinese as a second language around the world. However, in today's time, the estimated number is over 100 million!!
Regardless of whether you are one of them or not, you might agree that Chinese, as a foreign language, is indeed difficult to learn. In fact, it seems to be one of the hardest languages to learn. There are over 80,000 Chinese characters, and only around 3,500 of them are commonly used in standard Chinese. It won’t be possible to recognize all the Chinese characters!
