[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing about Mandarin is it basically limits you to working in or on China, which doesn't offer the variety, in my opinion, of work and travel opportunities available via the other languages.[/quote] same with Japanese.[/quote] The problem with learning Mandarin or most other Asian languages is that compared to kids of immigrants from China or other parts of Asia , your child will not be even close to becoming fluent even after years of immersion school while the child of immigrants will have a much better accent, vocabulary, and ease of speaking. Bilingual mandarin speakers are a dime a dozen in California and New York and many are top students. I think Spanish is a much more useful language to learn in the United States. [/quote]
