[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As somewhat of an aside (specifically to 12:52) I work with a gentleman who is fluent in Mandarin and spent the past few years in China.  He told me he has several friends who have had difficulty finding jobs when they returned to the States, partially because there are more English speakers in China than in the US.  (didn't say what industry)

I would think there would be a benefit to learning any language spoken on the continent of Africa (including French) because many countries have growing economies and by the time our children become adults there will be many jobs available at companies that conduct business there.  [/quote]

We think alike. I initially wanted YY for my child, but realized that Chinese and Chinese-American kids can take those jobs alot easier in the future. We're opting for French immersion this coming school year for precisely this reason (emerging markets in Africa).[/quote]

That's funny.  I know of several companies just in my small circle who want Americans that they can send to China or Hong Kong or Singapore.  Even where Cantonese is to be expected, they'd love to have Americans who speak Mandarin![/quote]
