        "Why do you study Chinese language" is not accepted. Why?

          We don't speak like that.

          to put it less bluntly, the difference between using "Chinese" and "Chinese language" is that one needs a definite article and the other does not - "why do you study chinese" vs "why do you study the chinese language"

            I am wondering the same thing! Perhaps it is the ultimate challenge!

              Both mean "english", but 英文 is more focused to "written english" and 英语 is more focused to "spoken english" (but sometimes are interchangeable).

              Should "Why are you learning Chinese" be correct?

              Never mind, it does accept that.
