I think learning Chinese has the similar meaning as that of learning Latin if you don't actually have need to communicate with Chinese people. Knowing Chinese will lead you to a new field of the world of literature.

learning Chinese can provide you a method to learn and undestanding the different culture,especially the Chinese culture for it is rich in history.

Language is a tool which can help you understand people from other countries. Learning Chinese can help foreign friends to understand Chinese and Chinese culture. Along with the development of the world and the society, mastery of another language can help us to communicate with friends from all over the world. In my opinion, the most important reason for me to learn other language is that it can help me find a better job.

learning Chinese means you get to know a new culture. if you can speak chinese you could make more chinese friends, you can communicate with more people and know more about the world. besides knowing a foreign language can make you pride of yourself. haha...

the meaning according your age,if you are young and single ,maybe you can use chinese to find your lover in china.
