When 4-year-old British royal family member Prince George started his first day of school in September, Chinese language was on his curriculum（课程）.

    And he wasn't alone. According to a report published by the British Council in September, about 51% of UK parents want their children to learn Chinese, as it's believed to be one of the most useful languages to know.

    In fact, the UK isn't the only country showing a growing interest in Chinese. In the USA, the language has become the second most spoken foreign language this year, after only Spanish, with over 2.million speakers, according to a survey by a US financial news website.

    So far, 67 countries and regions have included Chinese in their national curriculum, reported the China news website.
