Er, yes, Tom. And your post constitues blog spam.
Well some pleasant news there Ken. I’m pleased to see my fellow Oregonians taking the lead on that one too. It makes me happy reading the article that people back in the states are finally understanding the importance of China. The only sour note that I have about the whole language issue is that the US is behind the times compaired to European countries where such programs are compulsory. I’m glad you posted this clipping Ken or I’d never have seen it. Hvala (thanks).
Mike,
The Europeans should be better at languages - geographically speaking, they’ve got to be. Bbut he best of all re the Africans, who, on average, know more languages than anyone! The reason for that is not so much attitude or school policy as culture and geography, but hats off to them anyway. And it is great to see interest in Mandarin in the US.
I believe the new tools we, and others, are assembling, willl help lead to a new wave of language learning with a new, more flexible approach than anything that has existed in the past.
