[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5th grade ideas are stupid. Cantonese (and Vietnamese) is the language spoken in NYC Chinatown (San Fran, too). Home stays with Chinese families in DC most of whom don't speak mandarin but a dialect - Cantonese, etc. no thanks. If you don't want to send your 5th grader to China than that's your choice, but please don't suggests cultural exchanges that will do nothing and are a poor substitute to actually visiting a country and culture.[/quote] "In Chinatown, Sound of the Future Is Mandarin" [i] He grew up playing in the narrow, crowded streets of Manhattan’s Chinatown. He has lived and worked there for all his 61 years. But as Wee Wong walks the neighborhood these days, he cannot understand half the Chinese conversations he hears.[/i] http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/22/nyregion/22chinese.html?pagewanted=all[/quote]
