I live abroad and my soon is not even a year old. I look forward to this, and the idea of having a grandson who will speaks multiple languages natively (I am English-speaking, my SO speaks Arabic natively) is very exiciting to my parents. I am waiting until he is older, but I look forward to even getting him into a language school so he will natively speak 3 or more languages.

Only if they had Chinese schools where I am . . .



Move to Oakland county outside Detroit where the public schools teach Mandarin from first grade on. Even better they use teachers from China.

Their long term goal is that with the entire population someday being fluent in Mandarin the area will become the first choice for Chinese manufacturing firms setting up plants in the U.S.


Very cool but I live in the MENA region and that is not going to change anytime soon.

Still, very awesome.
