Why doesn't your beloved learn Chinese since you've taken the time to learn German? German is just as hard if not harder thatn Chinses to learn. If she's not even willing to bother learning your language but you learn hers, what does that say about her respect for you and your culture? Also, your little ones may not want to bother learning Chinese cause mommy couldn't be bothered to so it must not be worth learning.
Honestly, do your kids a favor and teach them Chinese - better yet, enroll them in a language school. After all, they will most likely be doing business in Chinese than German in the future.
I would also reinforce language skills (any language) by immersion or traveling to that country - spend time in switzerland, Germany, Austria, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore etc.
Best of luck to you. Your kids will have great advantages if they can pcik up language skills, especially Chinese.
