i still young yet and i donot have kids but i have talked with my siblings about the importance of english and they consived and started to learn it and did their best.

I don't have kids yet, but I consider my students as 'my own kids'. I feel like I have the responsability, a duty in their Education before teaching them English. They are always asking me about it. what do I say? You don't want to study now, but you'll thank me tomorrow because you'll see how powerful we are having knowledge and culture.

Again with me, it is another language, but maybe similar. For many English is the international language: That is you can do more if you speak it. Many say you can learn about other cultures. . What I say about learning another language is that if you speak another language, not just translate, you think differently. That's what I liked. I'm a terrible language student, but if you have two languages that have big differences, then you have two ways to form thoughts in your mind. Sometimes thinking outside the box is the most useful. Despite similarities, languages seem put together differently: based on different ways to think about things. To me, Chinese sentence structure & the flexibility of the language is way outside the box of English thoughts that would have been my limit.

No, but I have been asked what was the importance of learning a foreign language. My answer was that we need to understand other cultures and that by learning another language was an excellent way to do so. Unfortunately, my children stopped learning Mandarin and Japanese in senior high schools as they found the work too difficult.

English is their native language, I have been asked by my children how importance of leaning Chinese. I told them, they will get more money if they work for the government. My eldest daughter quit her job from UCLA, she is working for the city, she got $50 dollars more on top of her salary Addition: If English is not your native language, then leaning English will get more money on the job.
