American Parents want Children to learn Chinese
The emergence of china as an economic giant is pushing American parents to have their children learn Chinese to have a competitive edge.
They have even started hiring mandarin speaking nannies for their children. Chinese language has also emerged as the most widely spoken language in the world and has started making inroads in schools in the U.S. .The supply is not enough to feed the demand of the Chinese speaking teachers. The Chinese culture and language is set to dominate the global society and the parochial view of English ? does not hold any longer. English, Spanish, French and now Chinese. The other Economic giant emerging is India which is the largest English speaking country in the world and does not require you to learn its national language, Hindi or any other regional languages. You can have same opportunities in India without learning Chinese. However the beautiful part is that the global village is becoming very interactive.
