In L.A., immigrants bypass English

In ethnically diverse Los Angeles, many immigrants find that learning Korean, Spanish or Mandarin is more important than English.

Manuel Aliga, a Peruvian immigrant, has spent years studying Korean. He runs a store that sells soccer supplies in Koreatown.

Soon people don´t have nothing same between them, not even the language.

I'm making sure my daughter keeps up with her Mandarin since China will most likely be super power when she is working force age :mrgreen:

After we’re don with Iran and Syria, the U.S. will sink into a great economic depression due to the cost of bringing democracy to the middle east. At that time China will rise as the industrial superpower and world police. You are wise to teach your daughter Mandarin, just as it is wise for Mexicans to have their children learn English now.

But all of that is for another thread.

Yeah, but they've already got 1 billion+ workers, why the hell would they want her going over there taking a Chinese persons job?

Now that's funny! :mrgreen:


To be honest I've already been using it a lot. When I used to be a research chemist I found it came in handy dealing with the postgraduate students and or professors visiting from Asia. My sister is senior partner of her own software company and finds she uses her mandarin with some of the employees (she hasn't started to outsource......yet.) , but then, these fields are already highly populated by Asians!!!!!
