[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are not Chinese there is no point in selecting a nanny for Mandarin. If you have no cultural links to another language, Spanish will be the most useful. Many people in the US speak it. [/quote] Lot of Manhattanites are paying through the nose for Mandarin speaking nannies.[/quote] Why? Business in China is conducted in English. You don’t have any sort of edge in terms of getting a job by speaking mandarin. Spanish helps you in your daily life in the US, and it helps with business domestically and abroad (far less bilingual businessmen in Spanish speaking countries). I got my job in DC since I’m proficient in Spanish. [/quote] But if you don't speak mandarin yourself, how will you keep this up once your child starts school. The only reason my kid remembers any Spanish from his child care providers is because I speak Spanish.[/quote]
