[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]955 million native Mandarin speakers 405 million native Spanish speakers 89 million native German speakers Before someone drags Sela into this, I'm not saying there can't/shouldn't be a German-immersion school. If a group wants to submit a charter application and it gets approved and has enough kids sign up to be worthwhile, and does a good job educating those kids, I think it's great.[/quote] I agree with you, but if you include Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg, etc. there are more than 100 million native German speakers in the world. I also don't think that the number of speakers should be the sole determining factor. Much of Latin America is poverty-ridden, whilst Germany is a major economic powerhouse. Of course, as a Brit I don't have any stake in this, and agree with you that anybody who wants to submit a charter application can do so.[/quote]
