There is the added difficulty, above learning Hungarian for example, that you have to relearn the basic skill of reading, as well as a completely unfamiliar syntax, grammar and vocabulary.

It would be smart, but I think the language is unnecessarily difficult.

It would be handy... But Chinese isnt just one language. It is many different languages, chiefly mandarin and cantonese, with one writing system. Many chinese are learning English now anyway.
