分析 最近中国发展很快，它吸引了世界上许多国家，包括美国．越来越多的美国学生，家长，教育工作者，和商人已经认识到汉语的重要性而且对汉语感兴趣，因此导致的结果是，他们希望学习中文，尽管他们可能要面对学习汉语这方面有很多困难．在2005年美国只有250所学校开设汉语课程，今天超过700多所学校开设汉语课程，而且有4500所学校也计划这样做．这是美国一个重要的时刻．美国人需要应对世界和更好的理解中国．他们想和中国做更多的生意．随着语言学习的流行普及，学习汉语的美国人面临的最大的问题是美国需要更多的可以在美国教汉语的中国汉语教师，John M．Huntsman，犹他州长（州长）说，"尽管数学和科学是主要的学科，但是语言学习也正在变为教育的重要组成部分．明年82所学校将为我们州的6000名学生开设中文课程．"
