Learning Chinese increasingly popular in Lebanon amid growing trade ties

The increasing trade ties between Lebanon and China have encouraged more Lebanese to be involved in the Chinese culture and traditions.

One way to gain increased awareness about the Chinese culture is to learn China's rich language, and young Lebanese students are developing an intellectual curiosity to learn Chinese.

"I love Chinese," said Nadim Sheety, a 7-year-old student studying at Lycee Fronco-Libanais in Beirut.
