Why? Not a very useful language to know.
Seriously??! It's the language spoken by 1/4 of the planet. The 1/4 that will dominate the economic sphere in about 5 minutes.
Um, no. Not happening.
Time to take your head out of the sand (or your behind). Mandarin is the most spoken native language in the world, by far. As China's economy continues to rise, knowledge of Mandarin can only help a young person get a job in the future.

Forget it. Too many short-sighted closed- minded people here. Wish there was chinese immersion where I lived.

That is what all my friends do. I am just curious why no one wants to do immersion as well.

To learn Chinese.
Yes, I want him to be fluent in Chinese as well because we are Chinese.

No, they want their children to learn English, which is the international language of commerce and will remain so for the next century or so. Presumably Mandarin is spoken in the home.

If not, why? Considering how hard it is to keep them speaking the language, let alone read and write.
I am considering this for DS.
