<p>Plenty of Americans taking English Major, so are many Chinese taking Chinese Major, what is the big deal? Are you just thinking of “Chinese” as a language for casual conversation or “Chinese” as literary sense? If it is the former, we have plenty of students in our Sunday Chinese school who did all 11 years of Chinese and worth very little to Chinese scholars. They cannot even carry an intellctural conversation. 5000 years of history and legacy will not be explored easily by those classes in America schools, unless you will go study in China for real.</p>
