There are many people studying Chinese now. I hope that all of you reporters, and the other ladies and gentlemen in attendance, can take up the study of Chinese. I believe that Chinese is one of the easiest languages in the world to learn. Otherwise, how can you explain why 1.3 bllion people have chosen it as their mother tongue?

中文不难但是你需要努力学习！É só uma questão de escrever cada caracter umas 5000 vezes cada! :P
Hey Ana, about language learning, have a look at that article: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/04/28/080428fa_fact_osnos
I haven’t read it all (it’s seven pages long) but it’s about a Chinese man teaching English with a crazy method… Maybe it works the other around, too ? ;-)
