    You work hard to learn English. Do you know American kids are learning Chinese? In many US schools, students take Chinese lessons. How do they learn Chinese?

    Let's go to the Muir Elementary School in the US. Maddi, 6, and Stephen, 6, are first graders in this school. They are learning how to say "we" in Chinese. "It's not easy to remember the Chinese characters (汉字). But learning Chinese is fun," they say.

    In Chinese class, they are learning the language through songs, games and lots of talking. "Chinese is popular among US kids. They pick it up really fast," their teacher says.
