[quote=Anonymous]My DC is in private school and in the 5th year of Chinese. The class meets 4 times a week. DC will go into full immersion for four weeks at a sleepaway camp that specializes in languages. Next year, DC will take advantage of the numerous immersion trips to China. While it is true that Chinese immigrants speak Chinese and a poster has suggested there are enough Chinese speakers here, there are many government and private companies that would welcome non-immigrant speakers of Chinese. Companies doing business with China in Africa strongly recruit African-Americans who speak Chinese. And some government agencies actively recruit non-immigrants who are fluent in foreign languages. With that said, I think learning any foreign language is to one's advantage especially starting young. There are numerous early language programs in this area outside of school.[/quote]
