[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of these posts are pretty ignorant.

The question about the student's ear is a good one, though. A lot of kids have trouble hearing and imitating the tones in the beginning and some even at advanced levels.

There's no Chinese alphabet. You memorize characters so if your child is visual it will help.

Chinese can be a good language choice if a child has dyslexia because the way the language is structured it is not an issue.

[b]The classes are not full of native speakers.[/b] Tons of students who have not been previously exposed to the language.

I don't know if anyone brought up the usefulness of the language but China has become much more closed off and more aggressive quashing political dissent even when it comes to foreigners than it was a few years ago so that is something to keep in mind.

At Whitman they are, same for Russian and Japanese. It's designed that way specifically so those kids can benefit by doing well in challenging class.[/quote]
