Really?! You mean just because a person knows Chinese language; it means he/she wont get ADHD? Wow, you've found the cure to ADHD right there! Drug companies should quake in their boots. You might want to call the Nobel committee as they probably have a prize for you.

Sarcasm aside, ADHD just means the person needs more effort to concentrate, it doesn't mean the person is unable learn (eg anterograde amnesia). No matter what the subject is (language, math etc) is boring or not is highly subjective. The most important things is an objective. As long as the person in this case OP has the goal he wants to reach and sticks with it, he can make anything not boring (say with a romantic partner). He will just need more effort (eg more repetition) when compared with other people learning the same language (hence the extra time / tutors etc). But honestly it doesn't really matter, because a person only need to learn once, comparing performance against others are rather pointless after the fact.
