[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mandarin is great fun for a couple of years (that is, a couple of years after a child has really started studying, not just dipping in toes the way so many early foreign language curric. do). But it gets very rote after that. One thing to think about is how many years of teaching these early-start schools can handle. Also, it is pretty hard to actually "get" the language without spending time in China/Taiwan, so think about whether you are interested in opportunities for DC to study overseas and what age. [/quote] How is it more rote than any other language? Not disagreeing, genuinely clueless and interested.[/quote]
