外国“富二代”流行学中文 学汉语从娃娃抓起
“中文热”席卷全球，王室后代以及商界大佬的子女们都开始学起了汉语。
全世界都在学中国话孔夫子的话 越来越国际化全世界都在讲中国话我们说的话 让世界都认真听话……
2007年，华语女子团体S.H.E的一首《中国话》红遍大街小巷，10年后，歌词里的场景已变为现实。
近年来，“中文热”席卷全球，不仅各国大学相继设立了中文专业，很多中小学也都开设了汉语课程，而越来越多的外国家长也希望自己的孩子能够从小学习汉语。
学汉语从娃娃抓起，就连美国总统家也不例外。近日，特朗普在访华期间，忍不住秀出自己外孙女阿拉贝拉的中文水平。在新华社发布的一段视频中，阿拉贝拉身穿旗袍，大方展示了自己的中文才艺。
The six-year-old sings two songs Our Fields, Beautiful Fields, and My Good Mom. She also displayed knowledge about Chinese literature by reciting Three Character Classic, a Confucianist volume to educate young children, and two ancient poems of Li Bai, Watching the Fall of Lushan Mountain, and Departing from Baidi City in the Morning.6岁的阿拉贝拉演唱了《我们的田野》、《我的好妈妈》两首中文歌，为了展示自己对中国文学的了解，她还背诵了儒学启蒙读本《三字经》以及李白的两首古诗《望庐山瀑布》、《早发白帝城》。
