Tyler Bridges: Latin Americans say si to learning Chinese

From the Miami Herald:

Once considered too difficult and virtually useless by many Latin Americans, Chinese is quickly becoming the second language of choice for a growing number of people in the region as Beijing’s economic boom has dramatically increased trade and investments with the mostly Spanish-speaking continent.

Three to five times more Latin Americans are studying Chinese today compared to five years ago, according to an unscientific survey conducted by The Herald in six countries.
