Importance of learning Chinese for South Koreans recognised(2)

This is a game where a student is guessing the name of a Chinese city while others provide clues in Chinese.

"I like Chinese films and singers. (Which singer?) Jay Chow. (Can you sing his songs?) A little."

Currently, any high school student in South Korea who has passed the Chinese as a Foreign Language test, can apply to a Chinese college. Some students have changed schools in order to attend this class.

"China's economy is developing rapidly. My daughter is currently studying at Peking University and we are doing lots of trade with China. I want my son to study at a Chinese college too." The parent said.

According to officials from South Korea's Ministry of Education, the country is caught in a fad of learning Chinese. Tablets with Chinese are everywhere in the streets and many shops have Chinese speaking staff. Subways and bus stops also have Chinese translations. So all the signs are that Chinese-speaking residents are in great demand as vigorous bilateral trade continues.
