I happened to come across this article from last year that seemed pretty relevant to our class discussion on languages in the schools and in the United States in general. I thought it was interesting because I had never heard that schools were doing this. It also is pretty cool that the Chinese government is helping to pay for these programs in the United States. With language being such an important factor in everyday life, it just seems crazy that we are cutting language programs because of budget cuts.
