It means teaching Chinese outside of the Chinese-speaking countries. If it is within the the Chinese-speaking countries, then it is called Teaching Chinese as a second language.
Many people thought it is difficult to learn Mandarin Chinese for English-speakers. However, that notion is not true because Chinese is quite different than English, which is a spelling language! Chinese is a picture language, which means ancient Chinese people draw different pictures as Chinese characters out of everything they saw in the environment, and which makes it advantageous to learn over other languages in a way. It does take time and efforts to learn it well, but what doesn't?
Luckily, in learning Chinese, there are at least clues (radicals that are originally drawn from real-life objects) to help in the learning process instead of just memorizing vocabs boringly and endlessly. Therefore, the best way to learn well the language, according to my 10+ of teaching experience, is to learn the radical of the characters first, which by itself usually has a hint from the writing (or drawing) and then forms the character.
