[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, another parent mentioned Mandarin. Mandarin is a great candidate for immersion as it’s not a “tough” language. What makes it hard for English speakers are the tones which are hard to hear if you’re not used to a tonal language. This could be learned more easily in early immersion. Grammar is very easy, the alphabet is tough but can be taught just like the kids are learning sight words today. [/quote] Spoken Mandarin is actually not too difficult. It’s learning the characters. [/quote] Hànzì is BRUTAL. Highly educated Chinese people living in China forget how to write common characters.[/quote]
