[quote=Anonymous]My DS did 6 years of Chinese in MCPS MS/HS. He's now majoring in Chinese in college. No Chinese heritage. I've studied a bunch of tough languages, including Arabic and Russian. Chinese is at least as tough as those, and probably tougher. DS's classes had a lot of heritage speakers in the first few years but most gave it up by year 3 or 4. I think that makes the beginning even tougher, because some kids have a bit of a leg up. I would never advise Chinese as a throwaway class; we tried to talk our DS out of it but he had his mind made up and to our total shock, he stuck with it.[/quote]
