Just out of curiosity, what are the foreign languages most commonly studied in China?
In South Korea, English is number one, Japanese is number two, and Chinese is number three.

Please kindly refer to the English translation of the dialogue on this page and also a lesson on the usage of Verb 有 in Chinese.
